Parental Alert: Fisher-Price Recalls 10 million tricycles, toys and high chairs


Fisher-Price has issued the most extensive recalls in history of more than 10 million tricycles, toys and high chairs. Mattel, the head of Fisher-Price is voluntarily recalling the items from the U.S. and Canada over safety concerns.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, many of the recalled items present a safety concern or a choking hazard!

According to the Vancouver Sun, the largest Fisher Price item recalled is its trikes and "Tough" trikes. Over seven million are recalled. It was reported that ten children fell and hurt themselves against an "ignition key" area on the toy ten. Health Canada stated, "A child can strike, sit, or fall on the protruding ignition key, resulting in serious injury including genital bleeding." That definitely sounds dangerous and the trikes should be taken off the market!
