I don't see the choking hazard. What is triggering this warning?

I assume the potential choking hazard is for the bow, in case it comes off. Possibly for the ID bracelet? Our 3 year old loves this doll, and it's regularly around our 7 month old baby. I've never had concerns about our baby choking on any part of the doll/outfit.

I'd say it would have to be the bow or bracelet. The doll is very well made, so they are probably just covering their bases. You could easily remove any possible choking hazards before giving it to a smaller child.

Maybe if the bow or nose comes off? Other than that I have no idea. It's a great doll!

My son chews on everything and he likes the little patch of hair on the dolls head. I think it could be chewed off, so that is a potential choking hazard.

I don't have the doll, but it's probably nothing particular. There's a different set of product testing that needs to be carried out for toys for under 3s and a lot of companies just don't want to pay for it so they have to label it 3 and up.

I purchased for my 2yr old grandson and its a soft doll. You can remove the diaper and shirt, but its velcro, no buttons. We've had no problems and this doll rarely leaves he's side!

Not a choking hazard. I think they are perfectly sized for a 1-year-old, though I have to admit I don't love the selection of blocks included.

I gave it to my grandson when he had just turned two. The animals that come with it seem big enough so as not to be a choking hazard.

The only choking hazard with this tank engine is if the toy is unscrewed, and then pulled apart, and the Battery is taken out and swallowed.I don't see this as a choking hazard with normal use.

No, actually my daughter was 1 when I gave it to her. not a choking hazard. if your son is cruzing or walking this will be almost perfect size. it seems to me like it belongs on a table but is fine on the ground. to date i have yet to have any accidents with it, me included. sturdy design akin to ones you see in the doctors offices.

I don't see how it's a choke hazard. No small parts. The tip of the cone is larger than a quarter coin.

I'm guessing it is some kind of choking hazard. Typically, if toys have any parts that can fit into a child's mouth, it is recommended for ages over 3 years. The canopy pieces could conceivably do that, hence the warning. As a pool toy it is entirely appropriate for any infant who is able to sit with adult supervision.

Not unless your kid has a Godzilla size mouth. Seriously, no clue why the manufacturer states choking hazard; there aren't any small parts.

No, they are about 4 inches tall and not a choking hazard. A child could chew the leg off and swallow it though. I bought for a 2 year old and wasn't worried about it. They are quite sturdy as all M & D toys are.

The balls are somewhere around 2 inches across, so they are not choking hazards. The frog and penguin are even bigger. :)

It is if you sit with a younger child, as there is a small danger of little fingers getting pinched by the moving animals. No choking hazards though as all parts and beads are securely attached.

I think any age - there is no choking hazard as they are fairly large. Even if a determined baby wedged the goose into his/her mouth, I would not be worried about it blocking a windpipe or anything.

I think that the standard for the warning is if the toy has small pieces or if small pieces could be generated upon breakage. In this case, there are no chokeable parts, but if the ring were to break, I could see how there would be chokeable parts generated. It would take more than usual baby play to break this ring, though. As an adult, I'd have to make a concerted effort to break it, and my first step would be to open the ring, which even my toddler can't do. I don't think it's reasonably a choking hazard when played with by babies/toddlers. That said, my children haven't found it to be a fun toy or a particularly good teether. If you haven't bought it yet, skip it. I think that the standard for the warning is if the toy has small pieces or if small pieces could be generated upon breakage.

There is an opening in the belly area where you open the fur and there is a secret door where the batteries are, likely with a tiny screw to keep the door closed. Please note that I wouldn't give this to children under 5 as there are small parts that represent a choking hazard - not a baby toy.

Im not really sure why this set is labeled 3 and up because it is the New Sprouts quality line of food and those are labeled 3 and up so Im not really sure why this toy has the label 3 and up unless they think the sorting and color matching is more at the 3yr old level. My daughter is 19mos old and plays with these toys I don't feel any of them are small enough to be a choking hazard, the smallest piece is the berries and since it's grouped in a cluster I don't really see how anybody could choke on that.

No choking hazards. Most pieces are bigger than the roll itself. The smallest piece is the triangle at the top of the house in the picture it apx 2" x 2" x 2" or slightly larger.

I don't think anything about this book could present a choking hazard. The beak of the owl sticks out but is sewed on well and I can't imagine any infant or even toddler could pull it off. I have never been worried about my (now) 10 month old with this book.
