The back of some cars could crack and break apart, presenting a potential choking hazard to young children. CPSC and Fisher-Price Inc. are not aware of any injuries involving these toy cars. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury. The police car is part of the Little People Roadside RescueTM vehicle set. The set includes one white and blue police car; one yellow tow truck; one red passenger car; three figures including an auto mechanic, a police officer, and a driver; two orange traffic cones; one red stop sign; and one yellow yield sign. The police car is made of plastic. The upper part of the car is white and the lower part of the car is blue. There are blue star cutouts on both sides of the car. The car has black wheels. The police car is the only toy in the set involved in the recall. The vehicle set is packaged in a cardboard box labeled in part, "Fisher-Price Little People Roadside RescueTM...Ages 1 1/2 - 5 yrs...72394." The vehicle set is visible through a plastic window on the box. Major toy stores and mass merchandise outlets nationwide have sold the vehicle set since February 1997 for about $8. Consumers who have purchased the vehicle set since February 1997 should take the police car away from young children immediately and call Fisher-Price toll-free at 800-233-4004.
