Recalled wooden car

The Consumer Products Safety Commission has announced a new recall today - this one involves about a thousand wooden toys from company "Earth Friendly."

The CPSC says, "Small parts can detach and break from the toy, posing a choking hazard to young children. In addition, the size of the rattle handle violates voluntary rattle standards."

No injuries have been reported.

The details:

• Three models of wooden toys. Moee the car, Cubby the stackable bear and the Bell rattle.
• The toys are painted in glossy red, orange, green, red, black and yellow.
• They were sold at Toy specialty stores in Alaska, California, Colorado, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington from April 2008 through September 2008 for between $12 and $22.
• Manufactured in India

The CPSC says consumers should take the toys from kids and contact Earth Friendly for an exchange or recall.
