## Why This Recall Is Important
The safety of children is at the heart of this urgent product recall. When small parts are exposed, as in this case, **the risk of choking increases dramatically**, particularly for infants and toddlers who often put objects in their mouths.
The tissue box toy is designed as part of a stimulating activity centre for young children but unfortunately has a potential flaw: the detachable toy may come apart during normal use or rough handling. This malfunction could leave exposed support brackets within easy reach of little hands and mouths.
Keeping your child safe from accidental ingestion or choking hazards is paramount, and acting swiftly to address this issue is critical.
