Guidecraft Twist and Sort Toys recalled

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of about 760 Twist and Sort Toys due to a choking hazard.

The toy includes four posts, one with threading and the other three with small, horizontal pegs that provide obstacles for toddlers to twist on to the large peg triangular and square shapes.

The toys were imported from China by Guidecraft Inc., of Winthrop, Minn., and sold nationwide from September 2009 through November 2010 for about $20.

The small pegs can detach, posing a choking hazard, the commission said.

Consumers were advised to take the toys from children and contact Guidecraft for a replacement of equal value.

Consumers can call 888-824-1308 for information.
