Fisher-Price recalls ‘Thomas & Friends’ toys due to choking hazard

Fisher-Price is recalling more than 20,000 “Thomas & Friends” toys due to choking and magnet ingestion hazards, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The recalled toys have a plastic piece containing a high-powered magnet that connects one train to another that can detach or become loose, posing a choking hazard.

The toys being recalled are:

  • Thomas & Friends Railway Troublesome Truck & Crates
  • Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway Troublesome Truck & Paint

Model numbers HBJ89 (Troublesome Truck & Crates) and HBJ90 (Troublesome Truck & Paint) can be found on the bottom of the train cars.

No injures have been reported as of this publication.

The Troublesome Truck & Crates is a black and gray train car with cargo of brown crates, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said, while the Trouble Truck & Paint is a gray and black train car with cargo of gray paint cans and a yellow paint splatter on the side.

These toys were sold online on Amazon and other websites, and at Barnes and Noble specialty stores nationwide from February 2022 through August 2023 for about $17.

According to the CPSC, consumers should immediately stop using the toys and go to www.service.mattel.com and click on “Recalls & Safety Alerts” for instructions on how to receive a pre-paid return label via email from Fisher-Price.
