Wee Gallery wooden tray puzzles recalled for choking hazard

Wee Gallery is recalling Ocean and Safari animal wooden tray puzzles because the octopus and elephant puzzle pieces can break, posing a choking hazard to young children.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly states no injuries have been reported, and the hazard is a theoretical choking risk from breakable pieces. This falls under a precautionary recall with no actual reported harm, consistent with a Moderate severity classification.

Plain-English summary

Wee Gallery of St. Petersburg, Florida is recalling approximately 7,600 Ocean and Safari animal wooden tray puzzles sold in the United States (and about 550 in Canada). The puzzles are 10 by 7 inches and contain six flat wooden animal-shaped pieces that fit into recessed spaces on a wooden tray.

The octopus piece in the Ocean puzzle and the elephant piece in the Safari puzzle can break, creating sharp edges that pose a choking hazard to young children. The firm has received six reports of puzzle pieces breaking, though no injuries have been reported.

The recalled puzzles were sold at independent toy and children's stores and online at www.weegallery.com from February 2020 to June 2021 for approximately $30.

Consumers should immediately remove the recalled puzzles from children and contact Wee Gallery for a refund in the form of a $35 gift certificate. Consumers can reach Wee Gallery at 800-282-5149 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, by email at [email protected], or online at www.weegallery.com.
