What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (laceration hazard) where injury has not yet been reported, which aligns with the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

ImagiPLAY, of Boulder, Colo., is recalling about 500 Bead Maze Toys. The recalled products are painted wooden toys with beads that slide on a curved metal track. The product was sold in three styles: the Apple Tree Bead Maze, the Cactus Tree Bead Maze and the Palm Tree Bead Maze.

The trees on the toys can detach, exposing a metal screw. This poses a laceration hazard to young children. No injuries have been reported.

The toys were sold at toy retailers nationwide from August 2008 through October 2008 for about $13. Consumers should immediately take the recalled toys away from children and return them to the retail store where purchased for a full refund.
