Plain-English summary

Fisher-Price is recalling approximately 15,000 Learning Pots and Pans™ toy sets due to a choking hazard. The recall involves model number G6685, which features stackable pots and pans, a lid, and shape-sorting blocks with light and sound features. The toys were sold at discount department and toy stores nationwide from October 2007 to August 2008 for about $20.

The hazard exists because missing screws in the blue toy pan can cause the clear plastic cover to come loose, releasing small balls that present a choking hazard to young children. Fisher-Price has received five reports of the plastic covers detaching and releasing the small balls, but no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately take these recalled toys away from children and examine the bottom of the blue pan. The pan should contain six screws. If all six screws are installed, no further action is necessary. If any screws are missing, consumers should contact Fisher-Price to arrange for the return of the blue pan for a replacement. For additional information, contact Fisher-Price at (888) 521-0820 anytime, or visit the firm's Web site at www.service.mattel.com.
