Fisher-Price Recalls to Repair Little People Builders' Load 'n Go Wagons due to Laceration Hazard

Recall date:July 28, 2011
Product Category: Toys

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada in cooperation with Fisher-Price, of East Aurora, N.Y. today announced a voluntary recall of about 208,000 units in the United States and 2,800 in Canada of Little People® Builders’ Load ‘n Go Wagon.

The back of the wagon’s plastic handle has molded-in reinforcement. This design adds stiffness and facilitates children gripping the handle. The handle poses a laceration hazard if a child falls on it.
CPSC and Fisher-Price are aware of seven reports of injuries, including five reports of children requiring surgical glue or stitches.

Description

This recall involves the Fisher Price’s Little People® Builders’ Load ‘n Go Wagon model number P8977. The product includes a red wagon with a yellow handle, multi-colored plastic blocks and a dog figure. The model number is located on the bottom of the wagon. “Little People® Builders” is found on a label on the side of the wagon and “Fisher Price” is embossed on the handle. Wagons with green handles are not included in this recall.
The products were sold at mass merchandise retail stores nationwide from June 2009 through July 2011 for about $25. The toys were manufactured in Mexico.
