WASHINGTON, D.C. - CPSC, Man's Trading Co. of San Francisco, Calif., is voluntarily recalling about 15,000 train-shaped "Rolling Clock" toys.

Man's Trading Co. and CPSC are not aware of any injuries associated with this toy. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury. The light blue plastic trains measure five inches high, seven inches long, and two inches wide. The train, with pink wheels and pink trim, has a clock on its back with red hands, yellow numbers, and a picture of a house, a rabbit, a sun and flowers on the face. A white arch on top of the train and a metal bar in the middle of the train are decorated with pink, orange, yellow, and green beads that slide back and forth. A purple and white label on the side of the train reads "FUNNY TRAIN" in red lettering. The train is packaged with four plastic rings on a white plastic tray in a yellow box with pictures of blue trains, pink elephants, and white dogs, and numbers from zero through nine. The box is labeled in part, "ROLLING CLOCK ... TY-1306 ... WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - small parts Not for Children under 3 yrs. ... Made in China." Retail stores nationwide sold the toy clocks from September 1995 through January 1996 for $1.79 to $2.49 each.
