Disney tricycles by Kiddieland recalled

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Around 9,000 Disney Princess Plastic Racing Tricycles in the United States and 700 in Canada have been voluntarily recalled due to a laceration hazard, the two governments said on Thursday.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada said in a joint statement that children might cut themselves if they fall on the plastic castle display and the princess figures protruding from the top of the trike's handle bar.

Kiddieland Toys Limited, the manufacturer, has received three reports of children suffering facial lacerations.

The pink and fuschia trike was sold at Target, JCPenney, Meijer and H.E.B stores nationwide and online at Target.com from January 2009 through April 2011.

Consumers should stop using the trikes immediately and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement handlebar that has the castle and princess figures enclosed in a rotating display, the statement said.
