Fred Meyer Recalls "Chicken Dance" Easter Chicks Due to Hearing Damage Hazard

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Fred Meyer is recalling approximately 1,000 Dan-Dee "Chicken Dance" Easter chicks because the toy's music can be loud enough to exceed safety standards and damage a child's hearing. The affected toys are 9.5-inch tall yellow plush chicks wearing multi-colored egg shells and bunny ears that dance and play music when their left wing is squeezed. These toys were sold for about $20 at select Fred Meyer stores in early 2013. Consumers should stop using the toy immediately and return it to any Fred Meyer store for a full refund.

Risk

The toy's music can reach decibel levels that exceed federal safety standards for toys. This high volume poses a risk of permanent hearing damage to children who play with the chick near their ears.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify your toy by checking the sewn-on label for 'DanDee Collector's Choice' and the specific manufacture date '11/2012' and batch number '120613670'.
  2. Confirm the toy matches the description: a yellow plush chick in a multi-colored (purple, green, pink) furry egg shell with bunny ears and orange feet.
  3. Immediately stop using the toy and take it away from children.
  4. Return the recalled toy to any Fred Meyer store for a full refund of the purchase price.
  5. For more information, contact Fred Meyer toll-free at (888) 247-4439 from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. PT on weekends (press 3, then 1 to speak with a representative), or visit www.fredmeyer.com and click on 'Recall Alerts'.
