Target has received three reports of incidents including two reports of children mouthing pieces of the learning cube.

In a second incident, a child started choking when she put two of the toy's wooden pegs in her mouth. In the third incident, a consumer reported the wooden pegs popped out of the learning cube. No injuries were reported in the third incident.
