Manhattan Toy Recalls 'Manhattan Ball' Activity Toys Due to Choking Hazard; Sold Exclusively at Target

What's being recalled

This recall involves 'Manhattan Ball' plastic activity toys. The toy has a hard plastic center ball with 12 soft plastic tubes inserted into the center ball and 7 silicone teethers threaded on the tubes. "The Manhattan Toy Company" and lot code 325700EL or 325700IL are printed on the center ball.

The problem, in CPSC's words

The toy's plastic tubes can detach from the center ball and release the small silicone teethers that are threaded on the tubes, posing a choking hazard to young children.
