Children’s Wooden Cactus Toy Recalled for Choking Hazard

Approximately 1,900 units of Shierdu’s children’s wooden building block cactus toys have been recalled due to a significant choking hazard, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recalled toys, intended for children under three years of age, contain small parts that violate the federal small parts ban, posing a serious risk of injury or death if ingested.

The recalled product consists of 28 attachable wooden pieces designed to form a cactus. These pieces are painted in various colors, including yellow, light green, dark green, blue, red, and gray, and fit into a natural wood-colored base with corresponding holes. The toys are labeled with the brand name “SHIERDU” and model number “SY-016” on their packaging. These items were sold online through Amazon by the retailer Yiwu Shiyi Trading from October 2022 through August 2025, with a retail price of approximately $17. While no incidents or injuries have been reported to date, consumers are urged to immediately cease using the toys.

To receive a full refund, consumers are instructed to contact Yiwu Shiyi Trading via email at yizhao2025@outlook.com. As part of the refund process, customers will be required to dispose of the product and then submit a photograph of the discarded toy to the provided email address.
