About 64,000 Inkari plush alpaca toys are being recalled because the eyes can detach, violating the small parts ban and posing a choking hazard to 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: Scored 3 under the risk-of-harm criterion: detachable eyes on a toy for children under three pose a choking hazard, and the notice states no incidents have been reported.
Plain-English summary
Five collections of Inkari plush alpaca toys are being recalled: naturals, baristas, rainbow, monsterfluffs and limited edition. The wool stuffed toys were sold in white, ivory, light brown, dark brown, black, pink, purple, light blue and mixed colours, in mini (about 6 inches), small (about 9 inches), medium (about 12 inches) and a fourth size.
The toys are intended for children under three years of age and the eyes can detach, which violates the small parts ban, posing a choking hazard to children. The CPSC notice states that no injuries or incidents have been reported.
About 64,000 units were sold at specialty stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com, Etsy.com and Inkari-alpaca.com from November 2020 through July 2025 for between $25 and $100.
Consumers should immediately stop using the toys and contact Inkari for a full refund; buyers will be asked to cut the fur of the toy and send a photo to [email protected].
