New York-based Habermaass Corp. Inc. is recalling about 118,000 wooden toys because they pose a choking hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday.
The toys contain small pieces that may detach, the CPSC said. The company has learned of 15 associated incidents. No injuries have been reported.
The toys, which were made in Germany, were sold in U.S. stores and through online retailers from January 2002 through August 2008 for between $10 and $35 US.
Consumers should take the toys away from children and contact the company for a replacement or refund.
