Hazard

The fabric covering the stacking ring's center pole can come apart at the seam exposing the foam material inside. The foam material poses choking and aspiration hazards to young children.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately take the recalled toy away from children and return the toy's center pole to One Step Ahead for a $50 merchandise certificate to be applied toward the purchase of another product(s) sold in the One Step Ahead catalog or online at www.onestepahead.com. The firm is directly contacting consumers who purchased the recalled toy.

Incidents & injuries

The firm has received one report of a 10-month-old child mouthing the toy's foam material. No injuries have been reported.

Product description

This recall involves Animal Crackers Giant Stacking Toys. The multi-colored toy has five plush stacking rings that stack and rest on a stationary turtle base. The rings represent different animals including a frog, dog, cat, rabbit, mouse and chick. A fish is on top of the center pole. Each ring makes a different sound: rattle, jingle, crinkle and squeak. "One Step Ahead" is printed on a white tag attached to the toy. The toy measures about 19 inches high and 10 inches wide when assembled.
