A lot of times when a toy is on recall it's either for questionable paint used or faulty parts. I can see that the figures are targeted to an older crowd, but smaller kids should be able to play with them, just not 2 small, no body needs a baby choking on an accessory. Plus it's a toy it's not like a cd/video game that most sales clerks will ask ID for. it's not sold behind a display case, it's on a peg or shelf so chances are tons of people under 16 are going to buy them.
