The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in cooperation with ALEX Toys, of New Jersey, has announced a voluntary recall of about 91,000 ALEX Jr. Baby Builder, First Pops and First Snaps because small parts of the plastic toy building sets can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children.
