The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission and Fisher-Price have combined to announce a voluntary recall of 500,000 “Laugh and Learn Bunny Toys” because of a choking hazard.
The government agency reported that no injuries had occurred yet, but the toy company reacted quickly after learning that the nose could detach and pose a choking hazard.
This recall involves the Laugh and Learn Learning Bunny that measures about 10-inches tall. The yellow bunny with one green and one orange ear has musical and counting sound effects. The words, “Laugh and Learn” are printed on the bunny’s shirt. Product numbers involved in the recall are: K0468, K2960, K2961, K2962, K2963, K2964, K2965, K3440, K6898, K7884, L0327, and K5862. The product numbers are located on the fabric tag sewn to the body of the bunny. Only bunnies with three dimensional pompom noses are included in this recall. Bunnies with flat or embroidered noses are not subject to this recall.
Again to its credit, the company has asked consumers to take the toy from a child and contact Fisher-Price to arrange a replacement toy of the consumer’s choice. That is a classy way to end what could have been public relations nightmare.
