OKK Trading Inc. is recalling about 22,000 "Action Team" dart gun sets after a child choked to death on one of the darts.
Federal safety regulators said that if a child places the soft, pliable plastic dart in his/her mouth, he/she is likely to choke/aspirate the dart into her/her throat impairing the childs ability to breathe. If the dart is not immediately removed, brain damage or death can occur.
CPSC and OKK Trading said they have received a report of the November 2007 death of an 8-year-old boy in Port Arthur, Texas. The child reportedly was chewing on the toy dart when he inadvertently swallowed it and it became lodged in his throat blocking his ability to breathe.
The ACTION TEAM play set has a toy gun with three soft rubber darts, a S.W.A.T. watch, a baton, walkie-talkie, a whistle, and a badge with a clip and an identification card. The soft, pliable orange plastic darts have a nearly 2 inch long shaft and an approximately inch diameter suction cup. The toy gun is black with an orange nose and trigger and red spring release mechanism. Made in China is printed on one side of the barrel.
The toys were sold at discount department stores nationwide from December 2006 through March 2008 for about $1. They were made in China.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled dart gun sets away from children and contact OKK Trading to return the toy for a $3 bounty. OKK Trading will provide a free postage paid envelope for consumers to return the toy.
For additional information, contact OKK Trading toll-free at (877) 655-8697 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the firms Web site at www.okktrading.com.
The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
