The toy sets, which include a hammer and four small colored balls, violate federal safety standards for toys designed for children under three years old. The small balls, measuring about 1.5 inches in diameter, are considered dangerous for young children as they present a choking risk. The model number 711 is printed on the packaging, and the product features phrases such as “FOREST ROLLER BALL” on the green base and “ROLLER BALL” on the brown gate.
Consumers who purchased the recalled items are advised to stop using the toy immediately. Instructions for safely destroying the product and obtaining a full refund are available through Shantou Haochengheng Technology’s website or by contacting the company via email. Additionally, Amazon and the manufacturer are reaching out to affected customers directly to facilitate the refund process.
