RECALL: 5,000 Holgate Toys Playmat Sets Due to Choking Hazard

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the Holgate Toy Division, of Pepperell Braiding Co Inc., has announced a voluntary recall of about 5,000 Holgate Toys Playmats because the wheels on the wooden vehicles can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children.
