Description says "WARNING:CHOKING HAZARD-- Small parts. Not for children under 3 yrs." are these made of plutonium or are there giant babys somewhere?

No, it's the packaging Edsel. My 70# BELL was delivered successfully to my house in a very sturdy and supportive package. Considering the bell's size and obvious mass and the unmanageable dangers it would present if it became loose and ballistic in shipment (have you every held an 80# weight at arms length and dropped it?) it had MANY separate sturdy small parts that held it fairly firmly in the shipping box, and as I recall the bell itself also was enclosed in a thick plastic-type bag. It's a good solid bell, Edsel, almost exactly on-weight and good-sized handle (I have large hands); so have FUN with it! Pax vobis... Captain Jack

there are no buttons or large pieces that could be pulled off as a choking hazard. i wouldn't recommend for infants though. small children would enjoy playing with them. even as kids get older they could use them to store pajamas or other items & use as a bed or room decoration.

it says 6+ on most boxes. I think the age goes up for products that have potential choking hazards.

If I remember correctly, the pieces to this are all big enough that you don't have to worry about a choking hazard. My Grandson was three when I bought the set and since that time, a 2 year old child was adopted and plays with the set too. Haven't had any problems.

probably because most ty toys have little beads inside them that could be a choking hazard

These are not kids toys. They are fragile, collector toys. I would not buy them for a kid to play with. My son does not get to play with mine.

They are quite likely manipulable by a 2yo, but there are smaller pieces, and the warning on the set is "not for children under 3" and the bucket is recommended for 5+ (got them for our 7yo, but our 4yo whizzed through them.) If you have an "eater" or your child explores the world by taste... then absolutely not. Otherwise, it's counter to mfg recommendation.

Amazon now has a warning that this product presents a choking hazard for children under 3 YEARS of age. I could see how toddlers could chew off bits of the foam and choke. So possibly OK for infants but watch out when those teeth come through.

Hi, in all honesty, all the pieces you see are what comes with it and none of them were that small that I feel that a child would choke on. I gave this to my granddaughter when she was 2 and both her and my grandson who just turned 2 play with it still. He has played with it since he could stand. Hope this helps!

It has been a while since I saw them, I gave them to my nephews for their birthday, but if I remember correctly the biggest was about the size of a dollar bill, but they are really fat so no chance of any causing choking. They love them!!

Im not really sure why this set is labeled 3 and up because it is the New Sprouts quality line of food and those are labeled 3 and up so Im not really sure why this toy has the label 3 and up unless they think the sorting and color matching is more at the 3yr old level. My daughter is 19mos old and plays with these toys I don't feel any of them are small enough to be a choking hazard, the smallest piece is the berries and since it's grouped in a cluster I don't really see how anybody could choke on that.

They are a bigger Lego. Definitely more appropriate for younger. Mine is age 3-4 yrs.

No choking hazard....your right there is NO small parts, it came in a big plastic wrap/bag. That would be only possible thing I can think of.

As with all toys that have potentially removable parts (i.e. wheels, magnets, tops, etc.) I'm sure these are not recommended for children under 3. I bought them for my almost-4-year-old grandson. That said, his 1-year-old little brother insists on playing with anything big brother has, so, under supervision, both boys played together nicely with the train set. The pieces are painted wood, so shouldn't be chewed on, of course.

Hello, and thank you for your question! The choking hazard warning on the detail page is displayed incorrectly. We will work to get that removed, thanks for the heads-up!

I have a four year old and a 20 month old and they both use it and love it. I don't believe any of the parts are a real choking hazard, but it really depends if the younger child still puts things in their mouth, my 20 month old doesn't.

They are all tiny pieces. Not for young ones who puts toys in their mouths, nose or ears. My son has been playing with these since he was three, but we don't have any younger ones to worry about if the pieces are left out.
