December 19, 2025 – A recent incident report has raised a significant safety concern regarding the WinFun Sort N Learn Activity House #T87184.

Product Details
Incident Overview
On November 20, 2025, an incident was reported involving a WinFun Sort N Learn Activity House #T87184, a toy recommended for children aged 12 months and up. According to the report, a toddler grandchild was playing with the activity house when they were easily able to pull a plastic toy house key from a string designed to attach it to the toy. Following the detachment, the reporting individual tested the key, confirming it could easily pass through a toilet tissue tube, a common method used to identify potential choking hazards for children aged three and under. This indicates that the detached key presents a significant risk to young children.
Safety Concerns
The incident highlights a critical safety concern related to small parts and choking hazards, particularly for the age group the product is designed for.
- Immediate Dangers: The detached plastic key is small enough to be easily swallowed or lodged in a child’s throat, leading to choking. Choking can cause immediate respiratory distress, brain damage due to lack of oxygen, or even death if not promptly addressed. The “toilet tissue tube test” conclusively demonstrates this immediate danger.
- Long-term Risks: While the primary risk is immediate choking, any ingested foreign object could potentially cause internal injury or obstruction requiring medical intervention.
- Who might be affected: Toddlers and infants are most at risk, especially those aged 12 months to 3 years, who frequently explore objects by putting them in their mouths. The product’s age recommendation directly correlates with this vulnerable demographic. Caregivers should be especially vigilant.
- Property Damage Potential: This specific incident does not present a risk of property damage.
