FYI: TOY RECALL
As this is a toy I know people on my FL actually have for their children, I thought I'd post this in case any of you didn't see it already.
TOT TOWER BLOCKS
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced the recall of these cute stackable blocks due to a choking hazard. No injuries have been reported, but the plastic covering on the blocks can detach and end up in the mouths of little ones.
The Tot Tower blocks are sold in sets of ten in sizes ranging from 6 x 6 inches to 1.5 x 1.5 inches. They are made of cardboard and have a plastic laminate film over them. The sets feature nine different themes: Things I Know; Garden Fairies, Hardware Store, Around the Land; Read-To-Me; Animal Sounds; Animal Alphabet; ABC; and Nursery Friends. The words "Tot Towers" and "eeBoo Corporation" are printed on the packaging.
About 170,000 of these Tot Tower sets were sold at specialty and gift shops nationwide from January 2003 through September 2007 for about $20 each.
If you have them, you should immediately take them away from your child and return them to the place where purchased for a full refund. Alternately, you can contact eeBoo Corp. directly to receive a replacement toy. For more information, call eeBoo Corp. at (800) 791-5619 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit their Web site.
