About choking hazards
Choking is one of the leading causes of injury and death among children under 5. Products recalled for choking hazards typically contain small parts, components that can break off under normal use, or pieces that fall within the small-parts testing cylinder (which simulates a child's throat). Keep the recalled product away from all children immediately, even if no incidents have been reported.
⚠ Remove the product from any area accessible to children right away. Do not wait until you have processed a refund or replacement — the hazard exists as long as the product is in use.
