In a growing wave of safety concerns, Health Canada has expanded its recall on a popular line of stuffed animals sold nationwide, warning families to immediately stop using the affected toys due to a serious choking hazard.
In an updated recall notice released on April 3, Health Canada emphasized the urgent risk posed by the toys’ hard plastic eyes, which can detach during use, potentially leading to life-threatening situations for infants and toddlers.
“Immediately stop using the recalled products and dispose of them,” the agency stated firmly in its alert.

🔍 Why This Recall Matters
The recall affects thousands of plush toys that have been distributed across Canada through various retail channels. These cuddly companions, though seemingly harmless, have now been linked to a critical child safety issue: small parts detaching under stress or play. The detachable plastic eyes, in particular, can easily become a choking hazard for curious young children who tend to explore the world by putting things in their mouths.
🧸 What Parents and Caregivers Should Do
Health Canada is urging all Canadians in possession of the recalled toys to immediately stop using them. The agency also advises that the toys be safely disposed of to prevent any risk to children. In addition, parents should check their homes, daycare facilities, and gift collections to ensure none of the recalled items are within reach of children.
