[recall] Imaginarium Activity Center - Choking Hazard


See that picture? If your child has one of these colorful little gizmos, it's time to take the item away.

The toy is called the Imaginarium Actvity Center and was sold by Toys R Us from August of last year to February.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that it has received 12 reports of those cute little sliders coming off the Activity Center and creating a choking hazard for children. Given that the item sold for between $20 and $50, this isn't simply a dollar store tossaway item, but one that is worth pursuing.

First, take the Activity Center from your child.

Once you've done that, you can return the item to your local Toys R Us store for a refund. If you still have the box, you can check to ensure your particular model is covered because the item numbers 69042 (multi-sided) and 69083 (jungle) are printed on the back of the box, near the bar code.

Consumers with questions can call Toys R Us toll-free at (800) 869-7787 between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. ET Monday through Saturday and between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Sunday.
