Hazard

The plastic rod can come loose, allowing the colored counting beads to slide off of the toy, posing a choking hazard to young children.

Remedy

Consumers should take the recalled toy away from young children immediately and contact Infantino for instructions on how to return the product for a free replacement. A free return shipping label can be accessed on the firm's Web site.

Incidents & injuries

Infantino has received four reports of children nearly choking on the colored beads after putting them in their mouths.
