Totals add up the figures the notices state, counting a reannounced recall once; 4 of 5 notices add a unit count. A notice that gives no number adds nothing.
2 notices where the recalled products are toys & play sets.

The beads inside the clear plastic sphere at the center of the toys can be released and pose a choking hazard to young children.

The fish's size, texture, shape and easy compressibility make it possible for an infant to compress the toy and place it in his or her mouth. If the toy reaches the back of the mouth and expands, it may block the child's airway.
One notice where the recalled product is a pacifier and teether.

Small pieces of the plastic ball can detach as a result of children chewing on the teether/rattle, posing an ingestion hazard.
One notice where the recalled product is a high chair.
Sassy notices outside the product types above.

The sewn-on spherical-shaped fabric eyes on the rattles can detach, posing a choking hazard to small children.
The recall contact each official notice gives, newest first. Contacts can change after a notice is published; the notice itself is the final word.
