WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using and dispose of Zhengxin Arts Vertical Box Hammer Case Pounding Ball Table Toys because the toys have small balls that pose a choking hazard to young children.

CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the seller, Zhengxin Arts, of China, but the firm has not been responsive to CPSC's request for a recall of this product.

The pounding ball toys consist of a wooden square with four holes, four small balls, and a wooden pounding mallet. The holes in the wooden square are color-coded to match the red, yellow, green and blue balls. There are no markings on the product. The product was sold in a blue and green box with the title "Vertical Box" and "Hammer Case."

The pounding ball toys have been sold online via ecommerce platforms, including www.us.shein.com for about $4.

CPSC urges consumers to stop using the toys immediately and dispose of them. Do not sell or give away these hazardous toys.
