Summary

Fisher-Price is recalling about 21,000 Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway Troublesome Truck & Crates and Troublesome Truck & Paint train cars. A small plastic piece containing a high-powered magnet that connects the trains together can detach or become loose. One report of a connector detaching has been received, though no injuries have been reported. Consumers should stop using these toys immediately and contact Fisher-Price for a full refund.
