Recall Details
WASHINGTON, DC -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Aldi, Inc., of Batavia, IL is voluntarily recalling 4,000 "MYKIDS Bump-and-Go Wonder Loco" toy train engines, model 7801. When CPSC tested the toys in accordance with regulations under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, the wheels and axles separated posing a potential choking or aspiration hazard for young children.
The toy is a battery-operated train engine. It is bright yellow, red, blue and black with decals that read, "No. 30 WONDER LOCO." The train measures 7 inches long, 7-1/8 inches high, and 5-1/4 inches wide. The train has a "bump-and-go" action that is activated by two push buttons on the top of the train. The sound of a real locomotive steam whistle and blinking lights are activated when the train is turned on. A large 3-1/2 inch long wind-up key is located on the top of the train and a clicking noise is made when the key is turned. The label on the cardboard container reads in part: "MYKIDS BUMP-AND-GO Wonder Loco . . . MYKIDS TOY MANUFACTURING CO., LTD, 1986, MADE IN CHINA." The Bump-and-Go Wonder Loco, imported by Aldi, Inc., was sold at 200 Aldi grocery stores in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin from October 20, 1991 through November 2, 1991 for a retail price of $4.99 each.
Consumers are urged to take the trains away from young children immediately and return them to the Aldi grocery store where purchased for a full refund. For more information about this recall, consumers may contact Aldi, Inc. at 1-708-879-2130.

The portable fuel bottles do not meet the child-resistant requirements for closures under the Children's Gasoline Burn Prevention Act (CGBPA). The closure for the products is not child-resistant, posing a risk of burn and poisoning to children.
The speaker’s lithium-ion battery can overheat and catch fire, posing burn and fire hazards to consumers.
The recalled baby nests violate the safety requirements of CPSC’s Safety Standard for Infant Sleep Products, posing a suffocation risk and fall and entrapment hazards to infants. The failures include not having a stand and not meeting the requirements for side height, sleeping pad thickness, and fabric-sided openings. The product’s sides are shorter than the minimum side height limit; the sleeping pad’s thickness exceeds the maximum limit; and an infant could fall out of an enclosed opening at the foot of the lounger or become entrapped.
Additionally, the baby nest designs with head pillows violate the Safe Sleep for Babies Act of 2021’s ban on inclined sleepers for infants because their sleep surfaces are inclined greater than ten degrees. Infant fatalities have occurred in inclined sleepers, after the infants rolled from their back to their stomach or side while unrestrained, or under other circumstances.
Infants can suffocate if they roll or move on the crib bumper in a position that obstructs breathing. Padded crib bumpers are banned under the Safe Sleep for Babies Act of 2021.
The recalled children’s pajamas violate the flammability regulations for children’s sleepwear, posing a risk of burn injuries to children.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products has contributed to a decline in the rate of injuries associated with consumer products over the past 50 years.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
