About 210,800 wagon toys have been recalled due to laceration hazards.

Recall Reason

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, in cooperation with Fisher-Price, of East Aurora, New York, have recalled about 210,800 (2,800 in Canada) 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.
