Wooden abacus recalled over choking hazard
- September 24, 2008 2:15 PM
- By Peter Hadzipetros
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is recalling a children's wooden abacus because the rods can detach, posing a choking hazard.
The abacus is a multi-sided activity centre that has a chalkboard, movable block letters with pictures, sliding shapes, a fun maze with gears, and a blue and yellow clock on the side of the activity centre with two pink moving hands.
Product code E7A is printed on the packaging near the UPC bar code.
The toys were distributed by LTD Commodities LLC and ABC Distributing, of Bannockburn, Ill.
About 6,000 of the abacuses were sold by LTD Commodities and ABC Distributing catalogues across the United States and on the website from December 2006 through February 2008 for about $12 US each.
