Children’s toys sell by the millions of units, and they come in all shapes and sizes. However, in recent years, the size of certain types of toys has become more of a problem, especially those that are small and that can be ingested by children. Such is the case with a few parts of different toys manufactured by Little Tikes, which has announced a recall of 1.6 units of different models of their toys.

According to the Los Angeles Times:

“Little Tikes is recalling 1.6 million toy workshops and trucks after a toddler choked on a plastic nail.

The voluntary recall covers five toy models sold by Little Tikes as far back as March 1994, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said. The problem involves the bright red and blue plastic nails that accompanied the Hudson, Ohio-based company’s Electronic Project Workshop, the Little Handiworker Workhorse, the Home Improvements Two-sided Workshop, the Swirlin’ Sawdust Workshop and the Black Pickup Truck with Tools.

Little Tikes said in a statement that the toys were intended for children ages 2 and older. The child who swallowed the toy part was an 11-month-old boy from Goose Creek, S.C. The plastic nail — about 3¼ inches long by 1¼ inch in diameter — “forcefully lodged” in the boy’s throat. He was hospitalized and has made a full recovery.”
