Understand the issue

The oversized plastic toy nails sold with the tool bench toys can become lodged in children's throats, posing a suffocation hazard.

The Team Talkin' Tool Bench™ is a 20-inch-tall plastic toy tool bench with an animated red toy saw, a yellow toy drill and a blue toy vice. The toy talks and makes various sound effects, including tool sounds. The product also includes a toy hammer, screwdriver, two 2¼-inch plastic screws, two 3-inch plastic nails and pieces to build a small toy plane. The red Playskool logo is on the front of the brown surface of the tool bench.
