Mini Stars Building Sets Recall

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in cooperation with Edushape Ltd., of Deer Park, N.Y. is announcing the recall of about 18,000 Mini Stars building sets (additional star building sets were recalled in September 2010).

This recall involves Mini Stars building sets. The Mini Stars measure three inches in diameter and are made of opaque plastic. Each star has six circular knobs protruding from a ring-shaped center.

They were sold in sets of 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 pieces.
