The small balls and splinters may present a choking or asphyxiation hazard to children under three years old.The wooden cobbler set, item PO-418, contains a bench, a mallet, and four different color balls. The toys were sold in boxes labeled in part, "POLO TOYS cobbler bench***PO- 418***MADE IN CHINA***Ages 1 to 3 years***." Tuesday Morning stores sold the toy nationwide between October 12, 1995 and December 1, 1995 for about $6.This matter came to CPSC's attention after a consumer complaint.
