Affected products
Most sets consist of a sphere which contains the materials required to assemble the intended miniature imitation "appliance", "food", or "lifestyle" items. The sets packaged in spheres could also be sold as bundles with multiple units. The "Kitchen", "Multipack", "All You Can Eat", "Ice Cream Social", "Pizza Party" sets come in dedicated boxes with similar labeling without spheres. Products that are already assembled pose no hazard and should not be returned.
