The product, in the report: HABA Magic Arch Clutching Toy a wooden toy for holding and teething
Our infant grandson received a HABA Magic Arch clutching toy as a gift . We noticed that he had blue color on his lips and nose after using the toy. It was apparent that the blue color on the toy had come off on his skin. We examined the toy. The toy showed an uneven color on the blue wooden ball as well as the red HABA logo on the toy. I immediately wrote an email to HABA reporting the problem and asking for information about the paint or stain my grandson was exposed to. It has been three weeks and no reply. Obviously we took the toy away from him but I still have it. Should I have it tested for lead or any other toxin.?

No one hurt Made Jul 5, 2011, published by CPSC Jul 26, 2011
The product, in the report: HABA pacifier chain, “Bear” model
My 8-month old daughter has had a HABA pacifier chain (“Bear” model) attached to her carseat for about 6 months. In the past few months, she’s started chewing on the pacifier chain sometimes. A couple weeks ago I noticed that there was a crack through one of the wooden pieces of the pacifier chain -- the one that has the embedded mirror. As I inspected it, it broke into two pieces. It was wet, so she had been chewing on it. This is a serious choking hazard!
I received this pacifier chain from HABA after I reported a similar incident with another of their pacifier chains (the Motley), in which the wood cracked after my son chewed on it. I emailed them, told them of the incident, and they sent me a variety of HABA products as replacements including the “Bear” pacifier chain. This was about 3 years ago.

The product, in the report: Wooden grasping/teething toy “SALTO” by “HABA”. Toy is made up of a ring 4 inches in diameter with a thin metal bar crossing it down the middle. On the bar are 5 colorful spinning pegs of varying lengths (1-2 inches). Made of beech wood, the ring is a light natural wood color and the pegs are green, blue, red, orange, and yellow.
Hello,
This complaint concerns the grasping/teething baby toy “SALTO” by “HABA”. It is a wooden toy made up of a ring 4 inches in diameter with a thin bar crossing it down the middle. On the bar are 5 colorful spinning pegs of varying lengths (1-2 inches). I purchased this toy about 1 year and 4 months ago (February 2010) on Amazon. My baby played with this toy, primarily clutching it and sucking on it. About 1 month ago I gave my baby (13 months old at the time) this toy and stepped out of the room for a minute. When I came back into the room I noticed that this toy had broken apart and baby was holding one of the pegs near his mouth. After quickly grabbing this peg I realized that baby was sucking on another peg. I put my hand out to baby and got him to spit out the peg he was sucking on. I then counted all the pegs to make sure that they are all accounted for.
I was very shaken by this incident. As a parent I strive to get good quality toys for my kids. Toys by reputable brands that name safety as being a top priority for them. Haba has earned such a reputation among parents, so how is it that this infant toy fell apart in my baby’s mouth after as little as one year of use? When all my baby did was suck on it - which is exactly what he is supposed to do?
Please look into this matter and keep me updated on your findings.
This incident also leads me to question the safety of all infant and baby toys containing small parts. There are many such toys on the market and as a parent you want to trust that these toys are safe and they will not break apart. However, incidences like this prove that some of these toys will break apart and pose choking hazards. So why even allow such toys to be considered safe for infants and small babies?
Thank you for providing an avenue for the reporting of unsafe products. Please keep on working to make products safer for our children. [REDACTED]
