The natural wood trucks come packaged either shrink-wrapped or in a blue cardboard box labeled, "Wood Toy ... Engineering Truck...Made in China." The painted trucks only come packaged in shrink-wrap. All nine styles have a small gold decal on the underside that reads, "Made in China."The natural wood four-wheeled construction trucks come in six styles: truck with a crane, truck with a ladder, cement truck, dump truck, dump truck with body on a swivel, and a truck with roller on back. All of these natural wood vehicles are covered with a clear varnish finish and contain a small figurine in the driver's seat.The painted wooden trucks come in three different styles. All three styles have four red wheels, two red head lights, with cabs hauling either a multi-colored abacus, a set of six moveable discs in different colors, or six natural-colored discs painted with math signs and numerals. Dollar Tree Stores Inc. sold these trucks nationwide at Dollar Tree stores from July to December 1994 for $1.00 each.Consumers are urged to take the vehicles away from young children immediately and return them to the Dollar Tree store where purchased for a full refund.
