Children’s Activity Cubes Recalled Over Choking Hazard Risk

TUESDAY, April 21, 2026 (HealthDay News) — A kid's toy designed for learning and play is being pulled from the market over safety concerns.

Officials say parts of the ATOYUS Children’s Activity Cubes can fall off, posing a choking risk for young kids.

The recall, announced April 16, involves about 70 wooden activity cubes sold online through Amazon between January and February 2026 for around $26.

The toys are meant for children under age 3, but some components, including xylophone screws and clock hands, can detach, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said. The mallet that comes with the toy also has rounded ends that may pose a choking hazard.

Because of these issues, the toy does not meet federal safety standards for children’s toys.

The activity cube includes multiple features on each side, such as a shape sorter, xylophone, learning clock, rotating gears and a farm-themed puzzle, CPSC said. It also comes with 15 small pieces, a playmat and a bead maze on top.

The product can be identified by the brand name ATOYUS and “Model No. GLBB554” printed on the packaging.

No injuries have been reported so far.

Consumers are urged to stop using the toy right away and keep it away from kids.
