Ganz has recalled about 8,200 Grumpy Cat plush toys because the blue crystal eyes can detach. There have been six reports of the eyes falling off, which creates a dangerous choking hazard for young children. The recall includes three styles: an 8-inch laying cat, a 5-inch sitting cat, and a 4-inch key clip, all featuring multi-colored fur and half-closed eyes. These toys were sold at gift shops, toy stores, and hospital gift shops nationwide between December 2013 and January 2014. Consumers should immediately take these toys away from children and contact Ganz for a refund or replacement.
The plastic eyes on the stuffed animals can detach from the toy. If a young child finds or puts the detached eye in their mouth, it can block their airway and cause them to choke.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled toys away from children and contact Ganz for a free replacement Grumpy Cat product of equivalent value or a full refund.
