Mini Chef toy kitchens recalled for choking, tipping dangers

EStyle Inc. is recalling its Mini Chef Complete Toy Kitchens because pegs on the ovens may detach, creating a choking danger to children, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday.
The CPSC also warns the toys may tip over, putting young children at risk of injury.
The company said it has received one report of a toddler putting a peg in his mouth.
The recall affects about 65 toy kitchens sold in U.S. stores and through babystyle.com from October 2007 through November 2007 for about $200 US.
The toys were made in Thailand.
Caregivers should return the toy to the company for a store credit.
