The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Edushape Ltd., of Deer Park, N.Y., have issued a recall today of roughly 18,000 Mini Stars building sets. The children's toy construction sets contain small parts that may break off and pose a choking hazard.
The Mini Stars measure three inches in diameter and are made of opaque plastic with no further markings or logos. Each star has six circular knobs protruding from a ring-shaped center (see image) and were sold nationwide in sets of 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 pieces at retailers and on-line at ToysRUs.com, Amazon.com and Walmart.com from January 2007 through December 2009.
According to the recall notice, CPSC and Edushape have received two reports of the knobs breaking off from the center of the stars. No injuries have been reported.
Consumers are urged to immediately take the recalled Mini Star building sets away from children and contact Edushape (800-404-4744, www.edushape.com) for a free replacement set or credit towards another Edushape product of equal or lesser value.
