WASHINGTON–Fisher-Price is recalling more than 11 million tricycles, toys, and high chairs over safety concerns. The Consumer Product Safety Commission said yesterday that the tricycles and high chairs were blamed for children’s injuries. The Fisher-Price trikes and Tough Trikes, which feature popular characters such as Dora the Explorer and Barbie, have a protruding plastic ignition key near the seat that children can strike, sit on, or fall on, leading to injuries that the Commission said can include genital bleeding. Fisher-Price is also recalling Healthy Care, Easy Clean, and Close to Me High Chairs, after reports of the pegs on the back of the high chairs can be used to store the tray, but children can fall on them, resulting in cuts and other injuries. Other recalls include choking hazards from the Baby Playzone Crawl and Cruise Playground toys, and Little People Wheelies Stand N’ Play Rampway toys.
