The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The Montessori toy sets contain an airplane shaped teething toy that has tentacle ends that can pose a choking hazard to young children. The toys also violate the teething toy provision of the mandatory standard for children's toys.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Button-cell battery ingestion can cause fatal internal burns.
