Melissa & Doug Fire Truck Toys Recalled Over Choking Hazard

WASHINGTON - Melissa & Doug fire truck activity board toys sold exclusively at Target are being recalled because a detachable fire hose port can pose a serious choking hazard, according to a federal notice issued Sept. 17, 2026.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the fire hose port can come loose from the activity board and detach during use. Young children who place the part in their mouths could be seriously injured.

The recall affects Melissa & Doug fire truck activity board toys. The notice did not provide lot numbers, model numbers, product measurements or a specific quantity of units involved.

Consumers should immediately stop allowing children to use the recalled toys and contact Melissa & Doug for information about obtaining a refund or replacement. The products were sold exclusively at Target, though the notice did not specify the stores, dates of sale or purchase price.

Parents and caregivers should check fire truck activity boards in playrooms, homes and child-care settings for the affected fire hose port. Any detached part should be kept away from children while consumers arrange the remedy.

The recall is classified as unclassified in the federal notice.
