Gund Inc. is recalling about 19,000 Baby Gund Woodles Activity Toys. The wooden rings on the stuffed toy can break, posing a small parts choking hazard to young children.

Gund has received four reports from consumers about the wooden rings on the toys breaking, including one report of a child mouthing small pieces. No injuries were reported.

The toys were sold by independent specialty toy stores nationwide and in Canada from June 2005 through April 2006 for about $12.

Consumers should stop using these toys immediately, and contact Gund for a free replacement product.

“Cars” Toy Chests sold at Toys “R” Us are being recalled because of a lead poisoning hazard. The red paint on the partition panels of the toy box contains high levels of lead. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.

The wooden toy storage box is decorated with graphics from the animated movie “Cars.” It has three removable cloth toy bins. “Delta” and the PO# are printed on the side panel. Only toy boxes with “PO#FJ505192″ or “PO#FJ605042″ marked on the side panel are included in this recall.

The chests were sold exclusively at Toys “R” Us stores from March 2006 through August 2006 for about $50.

Consumers should take the recalled toy chests away from children immediately and return them to any Toys “R” Us for a credit or refund.

Consumer Contact: For more information, call Delta Enterprise at (877) 660-3777 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm’s Web site at www.deltachildrensproducts.com.
