CPSC says Fisher-Price to recall 10 million toys


    BANGALORE (Reuters) - Fisher-Price, a unit of toymaker Mattel Inc , will recall about 10 million toys in the U.S. and Canada due to injury hazards to kids, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Health Canada said on Thursday.

    The regulators said toys including some children's trikes, infant playpens and baby high chairs were recalled for reasons like choking and laceration hazards.

    Separately, Mattel said the recalls -- to be recorded in the third quarter -- will hurt full-year earnings by about $0.01 a share.

    Mattel shares were down more than a percent at $23.20 in early trading Thursday on Nasdaq.
