Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Toys "R" Us is recalling about 24,000 Imaginarium 5-Sided Activity Centers because small wooden knobs on the xylophone can detach. The firm has received eight reports of these knobs falling off, which poses a serious choking risk to young children. The multi-colored wooden toy was sold at Toys "R" Us stores and online from August 2009 through September 2010. Consumers should immediately take the toy away from children and return it to any Toys "R" Us store for a full refund or store credit.

Risk

The small wooden knobs that hold the xylophone keys in place can break off or detach. If a young child finds these detached pieces, they could put them in their mouth and choke.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your toy to see if it is the Imaginarium 5-Sided Activity Center, which features a multi-colored xylophone on one triangular end and a mirror on the other, with a blue oval 'Imaginarium' logo where the second 'i' is dotted with a star.
  2. Verify the model information by checking the original packaging for model number 46284, Toys "R" Us item number 295909, or barcode number 000799985462841; note that these numbers are not printed on the toy itself.
  3. Immediately stop using the activity center and move it to a secure location out of the reach of young children.
  4. Return the product to any Toys "R" Us store to receive a full refund or a store credit.
