The warning says small parts choking hazard - what part would that be?

I am not sure why that is listed as there are no little parts to the set unless the end of the handle or the bristles come off. This is a great set for our grand kids ages 3 and 20 months. They love to clean!

Sabrina, my grandson just turned 3 and has the set for a year. I see nothing with a small part. I can't imagine what they are talking about. It's a great toy and he is having a wonderful time playing with it.

I have no idea what that would be. There are only 3 parts as far as I know! Unless something comes apart easily, but I haven't examined it that close!

I have not seen any small parts. It is very well made and my grand children love using it.

the small parts warning is because if the plastic breaks, it can be considered a small part. Also the bristles, if they can come out easily would also be considered small parts for children under 3.

there are no small parts unless it broken some how. my 18 month grandson loves it and he is often not gentle with it. still intact

I just took a look at this to double check, I don't see anything that is small enough for a child or adult to choke on - unless they mean the bristles, which I pulled on and their very secure - This set looks exactly like the picture, no small parts. hope this helps

I bought it for my 3 year old grandchild. I don't know what they would consider a "small choking part." The only thing that could even come off of either broom would be the bristles. And I don't know that I would consider that a choking hazard. It has been fine for us!

The only choking hazard with this tank engine is if the toy is unscrewed, and then pulled apart, and the Battery is taken out and swallowed.I don't see this as a choking hazard with normal use.

The only issue, as far as the listed choking hazard goes that I could see for a 1 year old, would be the smaller pieces with the round balls as tops. The Squigz Starter set pieces are all smooth and a smaller child could possibly put one of these in his/her mouth and have a problem getting it back out - the other pieces should be fine. You could just remove those ball pieces until the child's a little older. I see they sell a PipSquigz set now, which might be the answer for you - they look textured for a young one's senses and ease of grip. Either way, you can't go wrong! My 3 year old granddaughter's Squigz pieces are out all the time - I only wish these had been around when my sons were little. Enjoy!!

probably because most ty toys have little beads inside them that could be a choking hazard

I believe they would be safe - I can't thing of any parts small enough to be a choking hazard.

I think that the standard for the warning is if the toy has small pieces or if small pieces could be generated upon breakage. In this case, there are no chokeable parts, but if the ring were to break, I could see how there would be chokeable parts generated. It would take more than usual baby play to break this ring, though. As an adult, I'd have to make a concerted effort to break it, and my first step would be to open the ring, which even my toddler can't do. I don't think it's reasonably a choking hazard when played with by babies/toddlers. That said, my children haven't found it to be a fun toy or a particularly good teether. If you haven't bought it yet, skip it. I think that the standard for the warning is if the toy has small pieces or if small pieces could be generated upon breakage.

Im not really sure why this set is labeled 3 and up because it is the New Sprouts quality line of food and those are labeled 3 and up so Im not really sure why this toy has the label 3 and up unless they think the sorting and color matching is more at the 3yr old level. My daughter is 19mos old and plays with these toys I don't feel any of them are small enough to be a choking hazard, the smallest piece is the berries and since it's grouped in a cluster I don't really see how anybody could choke on that.

If I remember correctly, the pieces to this are all big enough that you don't have to worry about a choking hazard. My Grandson was three when I bought the set and since that time, a 2 year old child was adopted and plays with the set too. Haven't had any problems.

The rule for choking hazards is anything that can fit into a cardboard toilet paper roll is a choking hazard for 3 and under. I used this rule all the time as a toddler teacher. I use these blocks in the Pre K class I teach and while suitable for them, the triangular and cylindrical pieces are most definitely choking hazards. Hope that helps!

Hi, in all honesty, all the pieces you see are what comes with it and none of them were that small that I feel that a child would choke on. I gave this to my granddaughter when she was 2 and both her and my grandson who just turned 2 play with it still. He has played with it since he could stand. Hope this helps!

I would not have a three-year old play with this because of the choking hazards. It comes with a lot of miniature accessories, like a hand dryer, for example, that a three-year old could easily put in their mouth.

It says on the package not for children under 3 years because of small parts so I think you should not get this toy.

Small magnets like this pose a serious health hazard to small children who are at risk of swallowing them. I would not recommend using them for any children's toys.

Not a choking hazard. I think they are perfectly sized for a 1-year-old, though I have to admit I don't love the selection of blocks included.

Hello, and thank you for your question! The choking hazard warning on the detail page is displayed incorrectly. We will work to get that removed, thanks for the heads-up!

These pieces are TINY with lots of littler parts. Maybe 5 yrs. when they don't put things in their mouth - ever!

If your child can disassemble it I guess some of the screws could be a hazard but there isn't really anything else small enough to swallow.
