Each box has "WOODEN PUZZLES" on the front and on all four sides and "A FUN WAY TO LEARN" on the front. On the back of the box all six styles are pictured along with the words "Made in Taiwan". These puzzles were manufactured by Lucky Star Enterprises in Taiwan and were distributed in the United States. From November 1987 to December 1988, 44,300 No. 6792 were sold and 42,200 No. 6793 were sold. All of the puzzle pieces have pegs in them which may come off presenting a choking hazard.

  2. BABY RATTLE SET - Item #7387 - This set contains three different baby rattles. One is in the form of a bird, one is a telephone receiver, and one is four small balls connected to a red plastic handle.

The Hippo's flippers attached to the feet come off and present a small parts choking hazard. In 1988 15,300 were sold. Approximate retail price $1.99.

    The following items were identified by the U.S. Customs Service as potentially hazardous toys at the Port of Los Angeles, during the joint surveillance program conducted with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

  5. BABY TWINS - This set, Item No. 3507, comes with one boy doll and one girl doll, both with vinyl heads and rooted hair. A small hair brush is included. The dolls measure 4-1/2 to 5 inches tall.
