Also, there is audio from Selina Patten, of Manassas, Va., who had a close call when the recalled plastic nail from a Playskool toy tool bench became lodged in the throat of her 3-year-old daughter. She was able to remove the nail before serious injury occurred. She later discovered the product had been recalled after the death of two toddlers, though she did not hear about it. She has now signed up to receive free email from CPSC and encourages others to do so also. Her contact information also is available. (in mp3 format; about 3 megabytes in length) (transcript)
