Fisher-Price Announce Recall of Little People Animal Sounds Farms
In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Fisher-Price, of East Aurora, N.Y., is voluntarily recalling about 67,000 Little People Animal Sounds Farms. Two small metal screws that hold the toy stall doors in place can come off, posing an aspiration or choking hazard to young children.
Fisher-Price has received 33 reports of the screws coming off of the toy, including four reports where a screw was found in the child's mouth and one report of a child that aspirated a screw into his lung. The latter case required the child to be hospitalized and undergo emergency surgery to remove the screw from his lung.
The recalled Little People Animal Sounds Farms are shaped like a barn and make animal sounds when the doors of the cow or horse stall are opened. Both the model number and date code can be found on the underside of the green ramp. The Fisher-Price logo appears at the top of the tallest side of the barn in red and white. The recalled toys were manufactured in Mexico.
