Small World Toys Safety Alert

There has been an immediate recall of some popular children's toys, due to a critical safety factor claims U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in Washington D.C. The products in question are listed as "Sounds of the Farm" puzzles along with "Sounds on the Go", puzzles manufactured by Small World Toys in Culver City, California. The pre-school products are made of wood and have simple puzzle pieces that make certain sounds when picked up by the wooden knob found on each piece. Animal sounds come from the 'Farm' puzzle and automotive sounds come from the 'On the go' puzzle. The wooden knob poses a serious choking hazard to young children after often becoming detached during use. The products are made in China for the Small World Toy company.

They were listed as Puzzilbilities and Ryan's Room brands. The products carry the numbers 24101 and 24102 stamped on the bottom of the toys. The toys were sold for approximately $16 each. Consumers are asked to immediately take the toy away from the child and return it for a replacement toy. You are asked to call the recall hot line at 1800-421-4153.
