Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Douglas is recalling about 25,000 plush toys, including Oliver the Bear, Chewie the English Bulldog, and Charlotte the Fox. The plastic eyes on these toys can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children. While no injuries have been reported, the firm has received two reports of the eyes loosening or falling off. These toys were sold at specialty gift stores and distributed by the UnitedHealthcare Children's Foundation (UHCCF) between July 2014 and April 2017.

Risk

The plastic eyes can break away or loosen from the stuffed animals, creating a small part that a child can swallow or choke on.

  2. Identify your toy by checking the sewn-in label for the words 'DOUGLAS® the cuddle toy.'
