Personal Injury and Wrongful Death

Playskool Toy Tool Bench Recalled after Two Children Die

Two children died while playing with a Playskool Team Talkin’ Tool Bench toy.  As a result of these deaths, on September 22, 2006, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall of  about 255,000 Team Talkin’ Tool Bench toys manufactured by Playskool, of Pawtucket, R.I.

Playskool received reports that a 19-month-old boy from Martinsburg, W.V., and a 2-year-old boy from League City, Texas, suffocated when oversized, plastic toy nails sold with the tool bench toys became forcefully lodged in their throats.
