No one hurt Made Aug 28, 2011, published by CPSC Sep 20, 2011
The product, in the report: Matchbox Road Roller - small metal vehicle - white metal base and black wheels with a bright blue plastic cab on the top of it.
I recently purchased a few new matchbox cars for my son and for the students in my preschool classroom to play with. When my 3-year-old son was playing with his new Matchbox Road Roller the blue plastic cab on the top of the road roller fell off - he grabbed it and put it in his mouth right away. It’s a terrible size- about 1/2”x3/4” - perfect for a child to choke on. I grabbed it right awway and he was unharmed. SImilarly, students in my preschool classroom were using the Matchbox Cement Mixer-2006 when the plastic cement part that rotates on the back fell off and was found in a students mouth. I have tried to fix the vehicles, but these plastic pieces do not fit properly or stay on the vehicles. This is a choking hazard for kids! Luckily I found them right away and was able to get them away from the children, but I don’t want anyone else to have something terrible happen to their child from one of the same products!
