Evenflo recalls exersaucers over choking hazard

Wednesday, December 9, 2009 | 12:57 PM ET

Evenflo is recalling 66,000 exersaucers in the U.S. and 13,660 in Canada because one of the toys on the saucer can come apart and pose a choking hazard.

No injuries have been reported but there are six reports in Canada and five in the U.S. of the toy flame detaching.

The recall involves the 1-2-3 Tea for Me exersaucers. They were sold in Canada between January 2008 and November 2009.

Consumers are advised to detach the toy flame and contact Evenflo about a replacement.
