The car measures about 3.5 inches wide, 5 inches high and 8 inches long. When turned on, the wheels turn crookedly, and the toy plays music and sound effects. The sound effects also can be activated by pressing the center of the spare tire on the trunk. The car has decals bearing the words "YAHOO!" and "NO. 1." The toy, made in China, is packaged in a green box labeled in part "HOT PET CAR," and "I.C SOUND." The model number, HK-736, also is written on the sides of the box. Small retail and toy stores sold the toy cars primarily in the Los Angeles, Calif., area from April 1997 through May 1997 for about $3. Consumers should take these toys away from young children immediately, and call United Tradeline Inc. at (888) 898-9296 betwen 9 a.m and 6 p.m. PDT Monday through Friday, or write to the company at 11800 E.
