The Little Wooden Push Car is about 24 inches long, 14 inches wide, and 18 inches high. The car has a natural wood body, a red steering wheel column, a red metal bar on the back, and a red plastic horn on the steering wheel. "Radio Flyer" is written on both sides of the car. A child sits in the push car and moves the car with his or her feet. The car is for use by children 1 to 3 years old. Some of these push cars do not have horns. Only Wooden Push Cars with horns are part of this recall. No other Radio Flyer products are involved in this recall.
