No incidents or injuries have been reported.

The toys were sold at VR Wholesale in Arizona, Viva Bargain in California, various discount stores nationwide and online at jcsalesweb.com from February 2023 through November 2025 for about $1.

Consumers should stop using the recalled pet toys, place them where children cannot reach them and properly dispose of the batteries, then contact JC Sales for a full refund.
