Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20240622-37A01-2147338462. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Guangzhou Ranyue Trading Co., LTD ASIN: B0B1WNC36N (Sold on Amazon under the name: "Toddlers Toys for 1 2 3 Years Old Kids, Pound A Ball Toys Included 2 Hammer & 12 Balls, Montessori Toys for 12-18 Months Baby, Interactive Game For Boys and Girls, Early Learning Educational Gift"). Incident: My 1 year old was playing with a pound a ball toy while I supervised and he placed one of the balls in his mouth. To my shock and horror, he was unable to remove it from his mouth. I quickly stuck my fingers in his mouth and dislodged the ball in less than 2 seconds. However, I have since removed the toy from my 1 year old and fear that other children could also be exposed to this choking hazard. The balls of this toy can easily be placed entirely in the mouth and pose a choking hazard. Product is on Amazon called "Toddlers Toys for 1 2 3 Years Old Kids, Pound A Ball Toys Included 2 Hammer & 12 Balls, Montessori Toys for 12-18 Months Baby, Interactive Game For Boys and Girls, Early Learning Educational Gift". However, I anticipate other Amazon sellers may sell this under a different title/name. This is a pound a ball toy distinctive with its frog decor pieces. The toy was being played with on the ground by a supervised 1 year old. One of the ball accessories was placed in the mouth of the one year old who could not get it out. No injuries occured as I (Mom) removed the ball manually in 2 seconds. However, this could have been a dangerous choking hazard if other children are left unattended.
