  1. No one hurt

    Made Dec 23, 2013, sent to the company Jan 2, 2014, published by CPSC Jan 27, 2014

    The product, in the report: Cars Tokyo Mater Playset, with ground effects Cars. Still on sale at the Disney Stores. Bought for $20.00 two weeks ago.

    My two year old son was at the Disney Store in Chicago, Illinois, when he saw a set of Cars toys. This particular set consisted of six or seven “Cars” that had “Ground Effects” or lights on the underside of the Car. Some had blue lights, others purple or green. This toy was marketed right at his eye level. There were no visible warnings on the box that this toy was not for children. Of course, his grandfather bought him the toy. All was well for the first week. Within a week of buying the toy, I found him in his room crying “Oh, no Mater” I investigated to find that Mater’s impercetibly tiny (smaller than a pop tab) hook had broken off the back of the truck. I quickly found the hook and took it away, as I felt it could have been a choking hazard. I let my son continue to play with the rest of Mater, since I believed that all the small parts had broken off. I continued to closely supervise my son playing with the toy, but within a day or two, I had stepped away again, and again heard crying. This time, Mater’s sport spoiler had broken off, leaving a jagged plastic edge, which was sharp to the touch. This time, I took Mater away for good. My son absolutely adored this toy, but it was both a choking and laceration hazard in the same toy. I have let him continue to play with the other cars in the set (which all have the same sport spoilers) but only under close supervision. He is not left alone with these toys. The set was on sale for $20. at the Disney store in the weeks leading up to Christmas, and I observed a LOT of people buying them.
