Orvis Recalls Stuffed Horse and Fairy Doll Toys Due to Choking Hazard

The Orvis Company is recalling stuffed horse pillows and fairy dolls sold with sleeping bags because detachable parts pose a choking hazard to young children.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a choking hazard from small parts in children's toys, which fits the rubric criterion for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'

Plain-English summary

The Orvis Company is recalling stuffed plush horse pillows and fairy dolls that were sold as accessories with Unicorn Animal Sleeping Bags. The recall involves approximately 220 stuffed horses and 1,300 fairy dolls. The toys were sold through The Orvis Company mail-order catalogue and website from September 2006 through December 2006 for about $70. The products were manufactured in China by Carstens Inc. of Burlington, Washington.

The recall is being issued because the plastic button eyes on the stuffed horse and the pompom nose on the fairy doll can easily detach. These small parts pose a choking hazard to young children. No injuries have been reported in connection with these products.

Consumers should take these toys away from young children immediately. They can contact The Orvis Company toll-free at (866) 531-6199 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.orvis.com/recall to obtain a refund or replacement horse and fairy doll. Consumers can continue to use the sleeping bags while waiting for the replacement toys.
