August 14, 2007: Fisher-Price Toy Recall

"Sarge" Die Cast Toy Cars

Click here for the official CPSC recall release.

Recall Reason: The CPSC reports that surface paints on the toys could contain lead levels in excess of federal standards. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects. (Read more about the effects of childhood lead poisoning).

Do You Own These Toys? This recall involves die cast "Sarge" toy cars. The toy looks like a military jeep and measures about 2 ½ inches long by 1 inch high by 1 inch wide. The recalled toy has the markings "7EA" and "China" on the bottom. The "Sarge" toy car is sold alone or in a package of two, and may have the product number M1253 (for single cars) and K5925 (for cars sold as a set) printed on the packaging. The cars marked "Thailand" are not included in this recall.
These toys were sold at retail stores nationwide from May 2007 through August 2007 for between $7 and $20 (depending on whether they were sold individually or in sets).
