Plain-English summary

Esjay US is recalling approximately 276,000 units of its Toddler Busy Board Montessori Toys due to a risk of serious injury or death from choking. The recalled toys are made of blue felt with carrying handles, elastic cords, and button closures. The front features cartoon dinosaurs, while the back displays 26 squares with letters and animals. The specific hazard involves the second page, which contains red knobs that can detach. Because the product is intended for children under three years of age, the detachable knobs violate the small parts ban.

The toys were sold online at Amazon.com from March 2023 to July 2026 for between $18 and $30. No injuries or illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall. The manufacturer is Shenzhen Yishijie Technology Co., Ltd., dba Esjay US, of China.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled toys and keep them away from children. To resolve the issue, consumers should unzip the page with the red knobs, write “RECALLED” on both sides of the page, and throw it away. Consumers must then send a photo of the disposed page to Esjay US at [email protected] to receive a replacement page. For more information, contact Esjay US at 888-206-9309 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit www.esjay.store/recall.
