CPSC, Small World Toys Announce Recall of Sorter Toys

Reported: July 25, 2002 Initiated: July 25, 2002 #02213

Product Description

The recalled "Sort & See" sorting box is made of hardwood and comes with eight shaped blocks of various colors. Each block is filled with beads that are visible through plastic windows. The wooden box has a clear plastic top and cutouts on two sides, that correspond with the shapes of the blocks. The words "Ryan's Room" are printed on one side of the sorter box.

Reason for Recall

The plastic windows on the "see-inside" sorting blocks can break, causing the beads inside to be released. This presents a choking hazard to children.

Remedy

Consumers should take the recalled shape sorters away from children immediately and return the toys to the store where purchased, for a refund.
