Description

These Nascar® Pull'N Go Hot Wheels® style toy cars, which were packed inside some Kellogg's cereal boxes, are red and yellow with a white hood. Pulling the car backwards a few inches on a surface causes it to go forward. "Kellogg's™," is written on the hood, and the number "5™" and "Terry Labonte™" is written on the roof. The words "China" and "MFG. FOR KELLOGG CO.™, © 2000" are molded into the plastic underframe. No other Kellogg's® Pull'N Go cars or Hot Wheels® cars are part of this recall.

Hazard

The tires can detach from the wheels of these cars, posing a choking hazard for young children.

Reported Incidents

Kellogg has received two reports of the tires detaching from the wheels of these toy cars. No injuries have been reported.

Remedy

Consumers should take these toy cars away from young children immediately, and send the cars to Kellogg, to get a free replacement item and reimbursement for postage. Send the car, along with your name and address to Kellogg Company, P.O. Box 185654, Battle Creek MI 49018-5654.
