The product (a pull toy with whistle) being recalled is identified as Primex/Shyf #4768 Toot Toot Tug and is made in Chile. The toy's wheels may come off easily causing a small metal rod to fall out which could possibly be ingested by a child causing a potential choking hazard.

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.
