WASHINGTON — More than 3.2 million toys for children have been recalled after accessories that came with the products were linked to two deaths.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday that all Calico Critters flocked animal figures that were sold with bottle and pacifier accessories are part of the recall.
The accessories pose a choking hazard for children, the commission said. Three incidents involving the toys have been reported to Epoch Everlasting Play, the manufacturer who created the toys.
Two children died in the incidents, including a 2-year-old child in New Mexico in 2018 and a 9-month-old baby in Japan in 2015.
The toys were sold at Walmart, Meijer, and other stores nationwide and online at www.calicocritters.com and www.amazon.com from January 2000 through December 2021. The bottle accessories were sold in yellow, pink, blue and orange colors. The pacifier accessories were sold in yellow, orange, pink, dark pink, blue and teal colors.
Families who own any of the recalled toys should take the bottle and pacifier accessories away from their children immediately and contact Epoch Everlasting Play via the company's website to register for a free replacement accessory.
