Troll Associates, Inc Recall Toy Puzzles Due to Potential Choking Hazard

In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Troll Associates, Inc., Mahwah, NJ is voluntarily recalling Basic Skills Puzzle Set, and Wooden Pegged Puzzle Set model. During routine testing, red plastic pegs attached to each puzzle piece separated, presenting a potential choking hazard to young children. The Basic Skills Puzzle Set consists of four wooden puzzles packaged in a cardboard box. The puzzles measure 11 inches by three inches and are labeled as Hatch-A-Chick, Pretty Posies, Wacky Creatures, and Animals Friends Train. Each puzzle consists of four or five pieces with a red plastic peg attached to each piece. The pegs are used to lift-out puzzle pieces.

The Wooden Pegged Puzzle Set also consists of four wooden puzzles packaged in a cardboard box. Each puzzle consists of eight or nine pieces with a red plastic peg attached to each piece. The pegs are used to lift-out puzzle pieces.

Consumers should immediately take the puzzles away from young children and return the puzzles to Troll Associates, 4600 Pleasant Hill Road, Memphis, Tennessee for a refund or free replacement puzzles and reimbursement of all shipping and handling costs.

Neither CPSC nor Troll is aware of any injuries involving the puzzles. This voluntary recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury. The potentially hazardous toys were identified by CPSC during a routine inspection of the firm.
