Diamond Visions Recalls Screaming Plush Monkey Toys for Choking Hazard

Diamond Visions is recalling about 6,000 Screaming Plush Monkey Toys because the eyes can detach, creating a choking hazard for children. No injuries have been reported.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly states no injuries have been reported. Although the hazard is a small part choking hazard—a recognized risk category—the theoretical nature combined with zero reported illness or injury keeps this at Moderate (score 2) rather than High.

Plain-English summary

Diamond Visions Inc. of Oak Creek, Wisconsin is recalling approximately 6,000 Screaming Plush Monkey Toys. The toys are brown, blue, or pink, measure 23 inches long, make a scream-like sound when the front paw is pressed, and have Velcro-fitted arms that wrap around a consumer's neck. Model TM-3280 is printed on a tag.

The recall was issued because the eyes on the toy can detach and become a small part, posing a choking hazard to children. No injuries have been reported.

The toys were sold at independent hardware and variety stores nationwide between September 2021 and November 2022 for approximately $6 each.

Consumers should immediately remove the recalled toys from children. Diamond Visions is offering a full refund.
