Product
Gigglescape™ Under the Sea Popping Toy
Description
This recall involves Gigglescape Under the Sea Popping Toys. The recalled toys have a clear plastic dome attached to a blue plastic base shaped like a whale. There are colored balls inside the dome, which pop up when the child pushes an external plunger at the top of the dome. The recalled popping toys have the Gigglescape brand printed on the front of the package and imprinted on the bottom of the blue plastic base.
Hazard
The clear plastic dome can detach from the blue plastic base, making the small plastic balls inside the toy accessible to children, posing a choking hazard.
Incidents / injuries
Target is aware of nine reports of the dome detaching, allowing access to the plastic balls, with one report of a child that began to choke.
