Rhino Toys Inc. Bead Toy
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The toys' plastic wires can detach from the hubs due to insufficient adhesive, allowing the beads to slide off. The loose beads pose a choking hazard to young children.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Choking hazard from small parts.
