Probably goes without saying but those fish are probably serious choking hazards for an infant, given size and composition. So like, make sure your 2 year old isn't chewing on it?

A little reading suggests you're only required to include a choking hazard warning on your packaging and advertising if the product is a "toy or game" and "intended for children ages 12 or under." I think the fish are nominally "toys," so you'll have to decide what age of customer they're "intended for." That said, if you included a hazard warning just out of an abundance of caution, that probably wouldn't be hard or expensive. A typical warning is: "WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD – Game contains small parts. Not suitable for children under 3 years."

The relevant laws are the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) and the Federal Hazardous Substances Act.

Just remember that warnings and disclaimers don't exist to protect consumers or the public. They exist to protect manufacturers from consumers and the public. If you are a manufacturer, you should absolutely view them in that way.

It is a whole lot more like attacking a car reviewer for not doing motorcycle reviews, because they feel motorcycles are too dangerous. That does not in any way undermine the car reviews.
