It’s possible, but it seems oddly unnecessary. The CPSA prohibits small pieces
in toys intended for children under 3, but the most recent renaming of the old
Jack Stone line to “LEGO 4+” is about as clear a message as you can get that
it’s not intended for toddlers. Since the “small parts” age range extends from
3-6, it might just be a way of keeping the choking warning off the box
altogether, on the basis that it might scare away over-protective customers. Of
course, since stuff like the X-Pods are listed as being for ages 4+, and they
resemble so many little candy-filled cases, one has to wonder why they’d go to
such extremes for the LEGO 4+ line. The only thing that makes sense to me at
that point is that they know parents are going to play it a little loose with
the age guidelines and buy stuff like that for kids who are 2-3 years old, and
they want to make sure it’s exceeding the minimum safety guidelines.
