The product, in the report: First Snaps made by the Alex Toy company http://www.alextoys.com/product/first-snaps/ Snapping, pulling, popping, sortingbaby is discovering a whole new world of shapes and colors while developing fine motor skills. First Snaps is a clear container filled with 14 pieces of 5 differently shaped and colored pieces that easily snap together. How many different combinations can baby make? The fun doesn’t stop there. The container is a fun way of filling and dumping the pieces. Pick them up and start all over!
My child was playing with a toy made by Alex called First Snaps. This is a baby toy for 6 months +. http://www.alextoys.com/product/first-snaps/
The toy is a bunch of star shaped pieces that interlock with each other. I noticed that one of the ends had come off, which left my child playing with a grape-sized hard ball that is very much a choking hazard. I examined the pieces and realized that I too could easily break the ends off by just wiggling them back and forth. This product should definitely be recalled for a safety hazard.

The product, in the report: First Snaps toys for small children to learn to snap parts together and pull them apart.
Our 1-year old broke one of the ball ends off of the snap toy and put it in his mouth. we pulled it out before there was an issue - but clearly the little ball posed a MAJOR choking hazard. I’m very disappointed in this product and the risk that it posed to my child. I’ll be sharing my thoughts with the retailer as well.
