Toddlers are known to like to put things in their mouths.
That's part of it.
It becomes problematic when there is a risk of suffocation due to small parts.
This is now the case with a wooden toy.
A
wooden toy from
the company "
Hema
" was recalled.
Due to a
production
error, small parts can come loose, which is an acute
danger
for
small children
.
Production

Amsterdam -
Small children like to
explore their environment with all their senses.
They also use their mouths for this.
This is natural and important for development.
However, there are also risks associated with this - such as the
risk
of
suffocation
from small parts.
The Dutch department store chain "
Hema
" is now
recalling
a
wooden toy
that was sold in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and France.
It is the toy called “
wooden stacking puzzle
” that is intended for toddlers.
According to the company,
wooden dowels
can come off the toy due to a
production
error.
The models with article numbers 15.12.2226 and 15.11.0221 are affected.
An acute
risk of suffocation
can arise
due to the small part that may come loose
