No one hurt Made Mar 27, 2023, sent to the company Mar 30, 2023, published by CPSC Apr 13, 2023
The product, in the report: Wooden pole with handle, spinning butterflies on base, rolls on wheels across floor. Internal makes butterflies spin as wheels roll. Colors of wood, green, red. SKU: E0341B “Award Winning Hape Dancing Butterflies Push and Pull, L: 4, W: 6.9, H: 22.2 inch”; “Hape Dancing Butterflies Push And Pull”
The walk and push toy, my son has had for about a year. It is a Hape butterfly twirling wooden stick toy with wheels. The other day the stick completely snapped, becoming a hazard of impalement had he been running quickly. There are other reviews on amazon which show breakage of this part even when the child is sitting and casually moving it.

Hurt, no treatment Made May 8, 2015, sent to the company May 18, 2015, published by CPSC Jun 2, 2015
The product, in the report: Hape Counting Stacker Model number E0504.
I have the Hape counting stacker for my 15 month old son. The box states the ages are 1-3 years. He was able to place one of the wooden counters in his mouth and choked on it. Fortunately, it was short lived and the worse thing to happen was he vomited it up. He received it as a gift. I looked the product up online after to ensure I had the correct age range ( I did) and noticed many reviews saying it was a choking hazard for their child. Yet, the she label has not changed. This is a dangerous toy.

No incident, no one hurt Made Feb 24, 2015, sent to the company Mar 11, 2015, published by CPSC Apr 1, 2015
The product, in the report: Hape Counting Stacker-- ALL the stacking pieces in this set is just under 1.25” in diameter, just small enough to fit in a child’s throat (These are only 2 examples-- there are others that I was about to purchase at the store but noticed the small pieces so I didnt purchase...but again the box said 18 mo+ for those products as well)
I have purchased several toys made by Hape, which all said they were for young children (most of these toys stated on the box for kids 18mos and older). Once I looked at the product more closely, I noticed they have pieces that definitely pose a choking hazard to anyone under the age of 3.
There has been no specific incident yet- this report is meant to prevent that from happening.
(on that note, the ‘incident date’ is just the report date, again since there wasnt a specific incident that prompted this report--- just the fact that these products state they are safe for young children when they clearly are not.
