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

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.
