The product, in the report: Melissa and Doug Match and Roll Shape Sorter. Tube shaped, primary colors, wooden.

Playing with the Melissa and Doug Match and Roll Shape Sorter. My 12 month old was able to fit the shapes in her mouth and almost choked. I was able to remove the shape from her mouth before she choked. The toy is advertised as 1+, but the pieces are obviously too small for children under 3.

My 15 month old Grandson was playing with a “Melissa & Doug Jumbo Wooden Stacking Train” Model #30544, when he was able to pull out 3 of the dowels from the train cars and was found walking with 1 of the dowels sticking out of his mouth. No injuries as we took everything away from him.

The product, in the report: Melissa & Doug Rainbow Stacker Classic Toy (Developmental Toys, 8 Smooth Rings, Solid Wood Base, Great Gift for Girls and Boys - Best for Babies, 18 Month Olds, 24 Month Olds, 1 and 2 Year Olds)

While playing with this toy within the first day of having it, the wooden stick in the middle broke off at the base leaving a very sharp exposed stick free from the base and a very sharp point on the base. Very little effort was required to break the middle stick.
The injuries that this could cause a child are obvious and numerous, and could be fatal under the right circumstances.

The Rainbow Stacker toy, like all our toys, undergoes scrutiny at all steps in our product programs including production, testing and inspections. We have been committed to the quality of our products since we began the Melissa & Doug business.

Our commitment to quality includes using technical recommendations and guidance from the CPSC and globally recognized Standards’ bodies for how to conduct testing, controls and product assessments. We meet or exceed industry practices and regulatory requirements in the assessments of our products.

The product, in the report: melissa and doug Geometric Stacker

The following products are really unsafe for the intended age use.
http://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-567-Geometric-Stacker/dp/B0006IRTU0/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
http://www.personalizedgiftsforless.com/meanddorast.html
The stackers have a wooden stick poking up into the middle of the air. Anybody who tripped and fell on this product without the blocks on it could be very seriously injured. Also, the sticks are attached to a very heavy block with sharp corners. If you used the stick as a handle, it would be great for bashing in a burglar’s skull, but not so great for my 2 year old.
