Tragedy was barely averted when an 11-month-old baby choked on an oversized plastic nail from the Little Tikes Toy Workshop Set as it lodged in his throat. Luckily, he did make a full recovery, and now Little Tikes is recalling 1.6 million toys, including the workshop set and trucks that contain these plastic nails.
The Electronic Project Workshop, Little HandiWorker Workhorse, Home Improvements 2-Sided Workshop, Swirlin' Sawdust Workshop, and Black Pickup Truck With Tools all contain these plastic "nails" that have now resulted in two accidents, and are being recalled. If you have any of these toys, you should remove the nails immediately, and always consider the age requirements before allowing a baby or toddler to play with a toy with small parts.
So many times the names are not familiar to those of us who might receive them as gifts or we just grab something in the store without studying the packaging, so here are photos of the recalled toys so you can check out your toy box.

The nails that are the problem are in the circle, highlighted in the photos above. If you have any of these toys, please contact Little Tikes at (800) 791-2737 or visit the Little Tikes website to get your replacement nails.
Keep small toys away from babies and especially off the floor once your crawling baby is active. Use common sense and check your toy box for potential dangers.
Do you have any of these toys?

No I don't have any of these toys.
here's the thing, if your baby is still putting stuff in its mouth than nothing with pieces should be given to them to play with.

Not only that, I bet those toys are designed for ages three and up. And that the child was left to play with it unattended.
I agree with amccrea and thegoddess. Parents should know better than to give babies toys designed for toddlers or young children. Especially babies who put toys in their mouths. My son never put a toy in his mouth (I just got lucky) so I allowed him to play with these kinds of toys if I was supervising. Parents should know what their kids will and won't do (the obvious things at least).
Yes, Patty...click on the links and read the whole thing...this was just released YESTERDAY!!!
Don't have any of those toys!
I agree that it's a common sense thing. I don't even think these toys should be recalled. If your child puts things in their mouth then you either should not let them play with it or you should be supervising them.
