Disney Princess Plastic Trikes Recalled by Kiddieland: Laceration Hazard (4/21/11)

Disney Princess plastic racing trikes by Kiddieland Toys Limited, of Scituate, Mass. were recalled on 4/21/11 due to a laceration hazard. The recall involves about 9,000 units in the U.S., and 700 units in Canada.

The plastic trikes were sold at Target, JCPenney, Meijer and H.E.B. stores nationwide and on the Web at www.target.com from January 2009 through April 2011 for about $50.

The plastic castle display and the princess figures protruding from the top of the handle bar pose a laceration hazard if a child falls on it. The CPSC and Kiddieland have received three reports of children suffering facial lacerations.

This recall involves the Disney Princess plastic racing trikes. The trikes are pink and fuchsia with a purple seat and wheels. On top of the handlebar, there is a rotating castle display surrounded by three princess figures. "Disney Princess" is printed on the label in front of the trike just below the handlebar.

Consumers should immediately take the trikes away from children and contact Kiddieland for a free replacement handlebar with an enclosed rotating display.
