  1. No one hurt

    Made Jun 12, 2011, published by CPSC Jul 5, 2011

    The product, in the report: EDUCO Early Melodies Pound and Tap Bench http://www.hape-international.com/products/det/5/18/1153/early-melodies-pound-and-tap-bench

    My children recieved an EDUCO Early Melodies Pound and Tap Bench (Hape international) ( http://www.hape-international.com/products/det/5/18/1153/early-melodies-pound-and-tap-bench ) for christmas. Within a month of playing with it a small wooden pegs holding the xylophone piece on it had fallen off. Upon examining the toy closly I discovered that 5 of the wooden pegs could easily be taken off. These wooden pegs are tiny and could easily be choked on. This toy is recommended on their website for children ages 1+. Luckily I found the wooden piece before my 1 year old did and was able to take the toy away before she could take any other pieces off and choke on them. I contacted the company about the toy in febuary and have still not recieved a response back.
