About 16,400 activity centre toys are being recalled from Toys "R" Us stores in the U.S. because small parts can come loose, posing a choking hazard to children, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday.

The company has learned of 12 incidents in which parts came loose from the centres. No injuries were reported.

The recall affects the Imagnarium and Jungle activity centres marked with the item numbers 69042 or 69083 sold in U.S. stores and through the company's website from August 2007 through February 2008 for between $20 and $50 US.

The toys were manufactured in China.

Caregivers should take the toys away from children and return them to the store for a refund.
