Does the manufacturer say there is a choking hazard?

I honestly do not know...I will say this, all of the pieces remain in tact after a year and are not easily removable.

The bus is quite big. The only way it could become a choking hazard is if the doors or windows were broken off.

Amazon now has a warning that this product presents a choking hazard for children under 3 YEARS of age. I could see how toddlers could chew off bits of the foam and choke. So possibly OK for infants but watch out when those teeth come through.

If there isn't there should be. Part broke of in my baby's mouth in the first week - choking hazard.

I don't think anything about this book could present a choking hazard. The beak of the owl sticks out but is sewed on well and I can't imagine any infant or even toddler could pull it off. I have never been worried about my (now) 10 month old with this book.

Why is there no warning on Amazon? Buy Buy Baby warns that it is a choking hazard!

Not unless your kid has a Godzilla size mouth. Seriously, no clue why the manufacturer states choking hazard; there aren't any small parts.

I am unsure why, but Amazon adds the "children 3 and up, contains small parts" etc warning to many products that don't apply, products clearly designed for infants.Look at the manufacturer age instead- this one says 2 and up, so if it's sold in the US it contains no choking hazards.

I assume the potential choking hazard is for the bow, in case it comes off. Possibly for the ID bracelet? Our 3 year old loves this doll, and it's regularly around our 7 month old baby. I've never had concerns about our baby choking on any part of the doll/outfit.

I'm ordering Baby Stella for my granddaughter's first birthday in December. For those of you who have one, do you think perhaps the choking hazard would be the pink bows on the pigtails?

I think any age - there is no choking hazard as they are fairly large. Even if a determined baby wedged the goose into his/her mouth, I would not be worried about it blocking a windpipe or anything.

I feel it would be okay for the 2 year old, but am not sure the 13 month could grasp the concept. I don't remember any small parts that would be a choking hazard, but highly recommend you check it upon arrival and remove any small pieces that are in the package.

I bet that's a typo and it's for children ages 4+. I have my minion right next to me andI tugged on his hair, glasses, hands and feet, and none of the parts came off...I don't see a choking hazard here. He is the BEST!

Well, ANYTHING is a choking hazard, I guess. But these are very large and securely placed on the rubber string. My baby can't even get one in her mouth; and I'd guess if the string broke, they'd all be loose, and then of course don't give them to the baby. But as they are, a baby can't get them all in their mouth. My kid LOVES this toy.

The smallest pieces in our sets are equilateral triangles with the sides 2 and 3/4 inches long. So the pieces themselves would not be a choking hazard. However, one caveat. Our grandson built a structure on a table in a sunroom where the floor was ceramic tile. His building was knocked off the table onto the tile floor, and one of the pieces "popped" open. The building tile itself was not broken but the two sides came apart and the six little magnets inside were scattered. Those narrow little magnets, 3/4 inch long, would definitely be a bad choking hazard for a baby or small child. The building tile was not broken. We were able to re-insert the magnets and press the two sides of the tile back together, but I threw that tile away in case it had been weakened. I alerted all our eight grandchildren's parents. It has never happened again. Kids' buildings have been knocked down constantly but always on wooden floors and there has been no further problem. Overall, it has been a fabulous toy. Our local grandson, now 8, still dashes to play with it every time he comes to our house. With a small child, however, I would want an adult to be watching them, just in case....

there are no buttons or large pieces that could be pulled off as a choking hazard. i wouldn't recommend for infants though. small children would enjoy playing with them. even as kids get older they could use them to store pajamas or other items & use as a bed or room decoration.

I have found that a lot of manufacturers state this, probably to protect themselves against liability. There aren't any small pieces that could break off that I recall and the animals are decent sized. If they are a concern for choking I would take them away until the child is older. We purchased this for our son for his 1st birthday and he loved it. It was great in helping him feel more comfortable walking. He's turning two and still plays with it. I will say that the sound stopped working a few months after the purchase though.

There is a small top part to the straw, that if your child were to unscrew the cups lid and pull the straw apart, it could be a choking hazard. I haven't read the review you are talking about but that's the only part I can think of that could pose a risk. However, I never even considered it a choking hazard. Also, having a 2-piece straw is not uncommon for this type of bottle (our CamelBack bottles have something similar but better/bigger).
