On April1, 2009, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission put out a recall on Lakeshores Learning Materials. Due to a choking hazard posed by the children’s toy boxes about 4,000 units have been recalled. The recalled product is a soft, multi-colored box with a different color on each side. “What’s Inside?” is embroidered on the front of the box and symbols of a lion, flower and purple butterfly are stitched on another side. Each feely box contains ten small stuffed pieces. The piece affected by this recall is the pink and purple butterfly.

The head of the stuffed butterfly toy can detach from the body, posing a choking hazard to children. Lakeshore has received three reports of the head of the butterfly detaching from the body, but fortunately there have been no reports of injuries yet.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled product away from children and contact Lakeshore to receive a free replacement butterfly and make sure that your child is not in danger due to this faulty product.
