Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Monti Kids is recalling about 2,700 "Basket with Balls" toys that were included in Tummy-Time, 4-6 Month Play, and Early Gross Motor subscription boxes. The blue crocheted ball in these sets has decorative swirls that can separate from the ball, exposing small parts. The company has received two reports of these small parts coming loose, though no injuries have been reported. The sets were sold online at monti.com between July 2022 and February 2023.

Risk

The swirls sewn onto the blue crochet ball can detach, releasing small components that pose a choking hazard to infants and young children.
