Plain-English summary

Hobby Lobby Stores Inc. is recalling Little Wishes Summer Plush Pacifier Holders, specifically the Blue Whale (item number 5202601) and Pink Octopus (item number 5725213) models. The recall involves approximately 12,900 units sold nationwide from January 2016 through April 2016 for about $5.
