Description
The recalled Plan Toys pull-along snail is a bright green, yellow and red wooden pull toy. The snail measures 10 inches long and 4 inches high and is pulled by a nylon string attached to the underside of the toy. On the snail head are two yellow protruding pegs that extend about 1 inch from the body. The pegs are painted black and white to depict eyeballs. A stamp on the bottom of the head displays the Plan Toys logo and the words "Made in Thailand."
