Even with careful design, planning, and manufacturing, children’s toys can experience problems. When these problems arise and get caught in time, companies can issue news of a recall to prevent any injuries. The most recent instance of a defective toy just resulted in an Amazon toy recall that parents need to be aware of.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) just issued an Amazon toy recall notice for the Early Learning Centre Little Senses Lights & Sounds Shape Sorter. Addo Play produces this toy and sells it exclusively on Amazon. Approximately 9,300 units of Early Learning Centre Little Senses Lights & Sounds Shape sorters are under the latest recall.
It is ideal for children between 6 and 36 months old. The toy has a gray and white base, makes sounds, plays music, and flashes lights. Additionally, it has six colored shapes for children to learn how to sort.
One of those shapes is a red, transparent cube. During play, it may come detached or come apart. And inside that cube is a white ball, small enough for children to choke on, which is highly concerning news for parents. .
Thankfully the choking hazard was discovered without any reported injuries. However, parents should stop using the toy immediately while determining if their unit is part of the Amazon toy recall. There are two ways to determine this.
The first is to check the item code on the base of the toy. Units that are part of the Amazon toy recall will have the number 82756. Then, check for the batch codes.
These are also on the base. You are looking for a range. Impacted units will fall between 1420WB01 May 21, 2020, and 3280WB01 Nov 23, 2020.
The Early Learning Centre Little Senses Lights & Sounds Shape Sorter under the Amazon toy recall was sold between October 2020 and August 2022. And they cost approximately $25. Parents should inspect their child’s toy to learn if they need to take additional steps.
If your Early Learning Centre Little Senses Lights & Sounds Shape Sorter is part of the Amazon toy recall, there are a few important things to do. Of course, not allowing your child to play with it is the most critical. After removing the toy from your child, discard the red cube.
As the red cube is the only potential choking hazard, your Early Learning Centre Little Senses Lights & Sounds Shape Sorter is safe without it. However, Addo Play understands that parents do not necessarily want an incomplete set. So, you can request a replacement.
To request your replacement red cube, reach out to Addo Play directly. Amazon will not handle replacements. Parents can find the contact information for Addo Play on Amazon or via the official recall.
Unfortunately, another item currently under recall may impact families with children in a similar age range. The website BGR wants parents to be aware of news about a stroller recall. And the reason for the recall is an important one – faulty brakes.
The Cityscape Travel Jogger Strollers made by Baby Trend recently came under recall. It has faulty brakes that may lead to injury accidents. You can read the official US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) notice here.
