CPSC and Man's Trading Co. Announce Recall of Rolling Clock
Push Toy
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Man's Trading Co. of San
Francisco, Calif., is voluntarily recalling about 15,000
train-shaped "Rolling Clock" toys. If the toy is dropped, it
can break into small parts, such as the toy's decorative
beads and the arms of the clock. Small children can choke on
or inhale these small parts.
Man's Trading Co. and CPSC are not aware of any
injuries associated with this toy. This recall is being
conducted to prevent the possibility of injury.
The light blue plastic trains measure five inches high,
seven inches long, and two inches wide. The train, with pink
wheels and pink trim, has a clock on its back with red
hands, yellow numbers, and a picture of a house, a rabbit, a
sun and flowers on the face. A white arch on top of the
train and a metal bar in the middle of the train are
decorated with pink, orange, yellow, and green beads that
slide back and forth. A purple and white label on
the side of the train reads "FUNNY TRAIN" in red lettering.
The train is packaged with four plastic rings on a
white plastic tray in a yellow box with pictures of blue
trains, pink elephants, and white dogs, and numbers from
zero through nine. The box is labeled in part, "ROLLING
CLOCK ... TY-1306 ... WARNING: CHOKING
HAZARD - small parts Not for Children under 3 yrs. ... Made
in China." Retail stores nationwide sold the toy clocks
from September 1995 through January 1996 for
$1.79 to $2.49 each.
Consumers should take the toys away from children
immediately and return the toys to the store where purchased
for a full refund. For more information about this recall,
consumers should call Amy Shum of Man's Trading Co. at (800)

CPSC discovered this hazard during routine
surveillance.
