WASHINGTON—Disney Stores USA, Pasadena, Calif., is recalling 20,000 units of its Playhouse Disney “Handy Manny” Toy Tool Sets due to a choking hazard.
The set’s tools contain eyes that can separate, posing a choking hazard to young children, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. There have been three reports of detached eyes, including two reports of children who started to choke on the pieces. No injuries have been reported.
The recalled toy is a plastic, eight-piece toy tool set that includes a tool box, hammer, saw, pliers, wrench, tape measure and two screwdrivers. The name “Handy Manny” is embossed on one side of the tool box. The UPC (#405144100614 or #422147400633) can be located on the product’s packaging.
They were sold exclusively at The Disney Store nationwide from October 2007 through January 2009 for about $15. They were made in China.
Consumers are asked to return the toy to any Disney Store for a full refund. For more information, contact The Disney Store at (866) 902-2798 or visit its website at www.DisneyStore.com.
