HOUSTON – More than 3.2 million Calico Critter toys are now recalled due to the potential for children to choke following the death of two children, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Thursday.
Epoch Everlasting Play LLC explained the bottle and pacifier connected to the toys is what causes the children to choke.

The CPSC said it is aware of three incidents involving the pacifier, including two deaths. One incident involved a 2-year-old in New Mexico of 2018, and the other incident involved a 9-month-old in Japan of 2015.
If your child has a Calico Critter toy with a pacifier or bottle attached, authorities advise you to take them away immediately. Epoch Everlasting Play LLC wants you to contact them for instructions on how to submit a photo of the recalled bottle/pacifier accessory along with contact information and confirmation of destruction to receive a free replacement accessory.
