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: The recall involves a high-risk poison (arsenic) in a consumer product, but the source explicitly states that no confirmed incidents of poisoning have been reported, which limits the score to High per the rubric.
Plain-English summary
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and importers New Angles/Wallace Oaks and Hickory Valley are recalling dead, stuffed baby chicks, ducklings, and goslings. These items were imported from mainland China and distributed nationally through gift shops, florists, and florist suppliers. The recall involves less than 25,000 units.
The recall is necessary because laboratory tests confirmed the presence of significant amounts of arsenic in the skin and down of the stuffed birds. Arsenic is a poison, and the items are banned by the Federal Hazardous Substance Act. The CPSC is not aware of any confirmed incidents of poisoning resulting from these stuffed birds.
Persons in possession of these stuffed birds should seal them securely in double plastic bags and return them to the place of purchase for a refund. Retailers are advised to stop selling the items and hold returned units pending instructions from their suppliers. Consumers with questions can contact the importers or the CPSC toll-free hotline.
