Steering wheels on Model 8 Roadsters

## Hazards

A child can pull the horn from the steering wheel, and a small part inside poses a choking hazard to young children.

## Retailer(s)

Toy stores, discount stores, catalogues and web retailers sold the Model 8 Roadsters nationwide, between January 2001 and July 2002, for about $70.

## Description

The Model 8 Roadster is about 26 inches long with a red steel body and a red rubber horn on a black steering wheel. The words "Radio Flyer" and the number "8" appear on both sides of the riding toy. Roadsters included in this recall have a date of manufacture of 12/2001 or earlier and have a "horn symbol" embossed on the red rubber horn. A label with the date of manufacture is located on the bottom of the Roadster. The label has the letters "MD" followed by a date code that represents the month and year of manufacture (for example, MD 12/2001 is for a manufacture date of December 2001). Model 8 Roadsters manufactured after January 2002 are not involved in this recall. Model 8 Roadsters with a star embossed on the horn, even if manufactured in 2001, have been re-designed and are not included in this recall.
