Yesterday, March 9, Epoch Everlasting Play recalled more than 3 million Calico Critters figures and playsets that came with baby bottle and pacifier accessories.
The toys were voluntarily recalled in partnership with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) due to a choking hazard, with three incidents — two of which were fatal — involving the accessories. The recall involves all Calico Critters sets that include the bottle and pacifier accessories. The bottle accessories were sold in yellow, pink, blue, and orange colors. One style of the bottle has two yellow handles. The pacifier accessories were sold in yellow, orange, pink, dark pink, blue, and teal colors.
Adults should take these toys away from kids immediately and contact Epoch Everlasting Play to submit a photo of the recalled toys, contact information, and confirmation of destruction to get a free replacement accessory.
The toys were sold at Walmart, Meijer, and other stores nationwide and online at calicocritters.com and amazon.com from January 2000 through December 2021 for $10-80.
