I noticed there is a choking hazard on this product. What is the size of the "jumbo pieces?"

The jumbo pieces are too big to swallow. They range in size. The largest is a good 4 inches. But there are some little pieces that could be swallowed - about a half inch in size.

Took a measure to them and some of the smaller pieces are as small as 1" x 1/2", so yes, a choking hazard for younger children is a real possibility.

The only issue, as far as the listed choking hazard goes that I could see for a 1 year old, would be the smaller pieces with the round balls as tops. The Squigz Starter set pieces are all smooth and a smaller child could possibly put one of these in his/her mouth and have a problem getting it back out - the other pieces should be fine. You could just remove those ball pieces until the child's a little older. I see they sell a PipSquigz set now, which might be the answer for you - they look textured for a young one's senses and ease of grip. Either way, you can't go wrong! My 3 year old granddaughter's Squigz pieces are out all the time - I only wish these had been around when my sons were little. Enjoy!!

I don't have the packaging anymore but I was guess 3+! They are sort of small and they have a small ball in the bottom of them (which is what it rolls on...the wheels don't roll) that could come out and be a choking hazard.

I have no fears about this product since there are no parts that could come off as choking hazards. My daughter loves these--I bought them for her 1st birthday. She pretends to eat and drink from them and loves putting them in an out of the grocery bag. She of course chews on them but they are well made and are not falling apart. If you are worried about the velcro coming off then maybe you could remove it yourself, but I think this is a well made safe product

the pieces were a good size but I still watched my daughter play with it first to explain not to put it in her mouth. I feel the pieces are big enough that it would be difficult to swallow. if u do see any piece u are uncomfortable with I would take it out for the time being til u feel more comfortable.

No, they are about 4 inches tall and not a choking hazard. A child could chew the leg off and swallow it though. I bought for a 2 year old and wasn't worried about it. They are quite sturdy as all M & D toys are.

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.

It says 3 on the box due to choking hazard...that being said my 4 year old nephew (who is a pro with iPhone+iPad) is able to use it with adult supervision

There are no loose parts. There are stickers but they are large and you can leave them off. The animals would not fit through a toilet paper tube, so not a choking hazard.

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.

The rule for choking hazards is anything that can fit into a cardboard toilet paper roll is a choking hazard for 3 and under. I used this rule all the time as a toddler teacher. I use these blocks in the Pre K class I teach and while suitable for them, the triangular and cylindrical pieces are most definitely choking hazards. Hope that 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!!

Not a choking hazard. I think they are perfectly sized for a 1-year-old, though I have to admit I don't love the selection of blocks included.

The smallest are 3-4" (the penguin & monkey), the others are between 7-9" - they are all good size, much larger than what you'd typically find in this type of set. We have 3 different sets of this line, I don't worry about even the smallest ones being a choking hazard. My daughter has had them in her playroom since before she was even 1.

I didn't measure it....but my guess is about 24 inches. it's a great length for a baby to chew on while you're holding him/her. and the beads themselves are quite large....not a choking hazard.

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.

I not sure what the company says, but my little boy is 4 years old. He is really rough with toys he threw it twice and a piece broke off. There are 3 pieces for assembly 2 wings and the tail piece. The tail piece is about an inch an a half tall. So a child could choke on that if they put it in their mouth. I wouldn't recommend for a small child unless you watch them. Its a really neat toy.
