Rhino Toys in conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has voluntarily recalled the Beado #1501 from its initial production shipment date coded 02910 04323A.

The plastic wires of the Beado can detach from the hubs due to insufficient adhesive, allowing the beads to slide off. The loose beads pose a choking hazard to young children. There have been no reported incidents.

How do I know that whether my Beado has been recalled?

This recall involves the Beado hand-held beaded play toy with model number 1501 and date code 02910 04323A. The model number and date code are printed on the bottom of the packaging and the date code is also inside of the blue hubs (see picture below). Beados that have a date code different than 02910 or have a date code of 02910 and an inspection sticker on the bottom of the packaging and a black mark by the date code inside the blue hub (see picture below) are not included in this recall.
