The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced the recall of about 15,000 Fisher Price Learning Pots & Pans Toys. Some are missing screws in the blue toy pan, which can cause the clear plastic cover to come loose and release small balls. This presents a choking hazard to young children. Fisher Price has received five reports of this happening, fortunately with no injuries resulting.

The Learning Pots and Pans toy sets include stackable pots and pans, a lid and shape-sorting blocks. They have light and sound features that operate with AAA batteries. Model number G6685 can be found on the bottom of the blue pan.

These were made in China for Fisher Price and sold at discount and department stores nationwide from October 2007 to August 2008 for about $20 each.

If you have one of these toy sets, you should immediately take it away from your child and examine the bottom of the blue pan. If all six screws are present, no further action in necessary. If any of the screws are missing, you should contact Fisher Price to arrange for the return of the blue pan for a replacement pan. You can reach Fisher Price by calling (888) 521-0820 anytime, or by visiting their Web site.
