18,000 Edushape Mini Stars Building Sets are being recalled. No injuries have been reported at this time, but the plastic rings can break in the center of the stars, causing a potential choking hazard. The mini stars are 3 inches in diameter. A mini star is made up of 6 circular knobs that are attached to an inner circular ring. The sets were sold at retail stores nationwide, as well as online at Toys R Us.com, Amazon.com and CSN on Walmart.com, from January 2007 through December 2009, for between $10 and $50. The rings do not have any markings, imprints, codes or logos on the plastic. They were manufactured in China, in the colors red, green, yellow or blue and in sets of 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled Mini Star building sets away from children and contact Edushape for a free replacement set or credit towards another Edushape product of equal or lesser value.
