Target Recalls Hearth & Hand Toy Mushroom Peg Sorters Due to Choking Hazard

Target is recalling about 1,850 units of its 13-Piece Toy Mushroom Peg Sorters because the mushroom stems can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children. No injuries have been reported.

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 choking hazard to young children, which is a risk-of-harm product type. Although no injuries have been reported, the source explicitly confirms detachment incidents (five reports), and choking is an inherent high-risk hazard for the affected age group, placing this at Level 3 per the rubric for high-risk products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Target Corporation is recalling the Hearth & Hand with Magnolia 13-Piece Toy Mushroom Peg Sorter (model number 324-06-3185). The playset includes a board with decorative dotted-pattern mushrooms in multiple colors, measuring about 6 inches wide and 8 inches long. About 1,850 units were sold.

The stems of the toy mushrooms can detach, creating a choking hazard for young children. The firm has received five reports of mushroom tops detaching from the stems. No injuries have been reported.

The recalled toys were sold at Target stores nationwide and online at www.target.com from July 2023 through September 2023 for about $20. The model number is located on the underside of the board.
