Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Family Dollar Stores is recalling about 254,000 Tough Treadz Auto Carrier toy sets because the die-cast metal cars can have sharp edges. These sharp edges pose a laceration hazard to children playing with the toys. The recalled sets feature a 14-inch long plastic carrier truck in black, blue, or red that holds six assorted metal cars. No injuries have been reported, but consumers should immediately stop using the toys and return them to any Family Dollar Store for a full refund.

Risk

The small metal cars included in the set can have sharp, unfinished edges that can easily cut or scrape a child's skin during normal play.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the Tough Treadz Auto Carrier toy set and take the truck and cars away from children.
  2. Check the packaging or the product for identification. The truck measures 14 inches by 3 inches by 5 inches and comes in black, blue, or red cabs. Look for a white sticker in the upper right-hand corner of the packaging with '$5' and 'SKU 1004247' printed in red.
  3. Verify the UPC code on the back label. Affected UPCs are: 678565114083, 678565114090, and 678565114106.
  4. Return the recalled toy set to any Family Dollar Store location to receive a full refund.
