A children’s toy recalled throughout Europe for risk of suffocation

A children's toy recalled throughout France for risk of suffocation

During the holidays, you may have bought a wooden car for your child. If this product comes from a King Toy store, be very careful because it is currently recalled throughout Europe. The cause is a resistance defect which could cause a risk of suffocation.

The alert was launched by the Rappel Conso website on Monday December 4, 2023. The wooden car from the Wood N Play brand, sold at King Cadeau, presents a choking risk. The toy is therefore currently recalled throughout Europe.

What is the product concerned?

The recalled wooden toy has the following information on the label:

  • Product category: Babies-Children (excluding food)
  • Sub-category : Toys
  • Marque : WOOD N PLAY
  • Model or reference: KING TOY 819898
  • GTIN : 8053735005064
  • Lot : All lots
  • Marketing date: 01/12/2020
  • Geographical sales area: Whole Europe

Stop using this product and return it to the store for a refund

This wooden car has been recalled because the end caps on the beige axles of the wheels can come off. This manufacturing defect presents a safety risk for children who use it. Indeed, the detachable parts are likely to be ingested by users, potentially causing a risk of suffocation. If the airways are completely blocked, there is a risk of respiratory arrest, which can cause severe brain damage.

Therefore, it is recommended not to use the product and to return it to the point of sale. In order to compensate for this error, the brand also certifies that a refund is planned, until Sunday March 31, 2024.

For any additional information, a contact number has been set up: 04.56.80.23.00.
