Hey everyone. I don't have any little ones (at least that would be young enough to enjoy this toy) but I thought I'd post this for some who may. I am posting both the link for the article (to see a picture) and the actual article itself.

About 614,000 musical chairs, manufactured by Fisher-Price, are being recalled.
The concern is that a child can get caught between the seatback and the side table of the "Laugh & Learn Musical Learning Chair," raising the risk of strangulation.
Mattel-unit Fisher-Price has had three reports of children getting their necks lodged. One of them received a welt on their neck.
The toy is designed for children 12 months to 36 months of age.
It plays music and teaches children numbers and letters. It also features a blue chair with four green plastic legs and a side table with a purple base and white top. The table holds a clock, book, and a lamp. Smiley faces are displayed on the lamp and seat back.
The recalled chairs have model numbers H4609, H7167 through H7173, H8157, H8998, and J0272 through J0275 on the underside of the seat.
They were sold at discount department and toy stores nationwide from May of last year through January for about $27.
Consumers are advised to take the chair away from children immediately, and to contact the manufacturing to get a free repair kit aimed at preventing the possibility of getting stuck.
Consumers can call Fisher-Price at (866) 552-3914 or visit the company's Web site for more recall information.
