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: This is a choking hazard involving small detachable parts on children's toys, which is an inherent risk-of-harm product. Although 10 reports of detachment have been received, the source explicitly states no injuries have been reported, placing this at the upper end of the moderate range but consistent with the "High" category for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet occurred.
