Miniland Recalls Moogy Plush Toys Due to Choking Hazard

Plain-English summary

Miniland Educational Corp. is recalling Moogy plush fastening toys intended for toddlers between 12 and 36 months of age. The recall involves approximately 2,000 units sold in the United States and 100 units sold in Canada. The toys feature zippers, buttons, buckles, and laces, and are identifiable by a white tag sewn into the pants with item number R.96295 and lot number 0115 1402813 085.

The recall was initiated because the red button on the toy's left pocket and the snap button on the right pocket can detach, creating a choking hazard for young children. Miniland has received three reports of items detaching from the toy, including one instance where a button fell off while a baby was playing, one where a snap stayed attached to the button, and one where the toy's eyes became loose. No injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.

The toys were sold at specialty toy stores nationwide and online through Amazon.com, Gilt.com, HighlightsforChildren.com, ToysRUs.com, and Zulily.com from July 2015 through February 2016 for approximately $33. Consumers should immediately take the recalled toy away from children and contact Miniland Educational for instructions on destroying and disposing of the toy to receive a full refund.
