358,000 Lego Trucks Recalled

LEGO and the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission have announced the recall of 358,000 LEGO EXPLORE Super Trucks.

The toys pose a safety hazard to children, according to the government agency, which issued a press release stating that there have been ten incident reports filed including two "serious" puncture wounds.

EGO EXPLORE Super Truck is a toy-in-toy product designed for children ages 18 months and up. The toy features a red plastic pick-up/dump truck that measures about 15-inches high and 19-inches wide with four 7-inch black plastic wheels that are packed with a box of 40 LEGO DUPLO bricks in the cargo area. The unit has a row of DUPLO “studs” across the top of the cab, molded yellow headlights and stickers on the front and sides of the unit create the idea of a windshield, windows and doors depicting a LEGO figure in the driver’s seat. The LEGO Explore logo is printed on the door stickers. The box of DUPLO bricks is not included in this recall.

Consumers should stop using the toy immediately and contact LEGO at (800) 718-1858.
