Health Canada has issued an alert notifying Canadians about the Winnie the Pooh plush toy recall.
According to the agency, the hard plastic nose on the toy can detach and while loose, the small piece of plastic is a choking hazard for young children. According to experts, any object that could be caught in a young child’s airway constitutes a choking hazard. Since young children have a propensity to put items in their mouths as a natural part of development, experts warn that these objects should be kept away from small children.
According to the Winnie the Pooh plush toy recall notice, the toy is an 8-inch plush with a hard plastic nose, model number ID00394. The UPC number is 672781004937. Approximately 4650 toys were sold in Canada between December of 2018 and January of 2020, according to Health Canada. The toys were made in China and distributed by Imports Dragons, a company based in Quebec.
One incident was reported to a subsidiary of Imports Dragons, says the agency. Consumers who have experienced an incident with the Winnie the Pooh plush toy or any other product are encouraged to fill out an incident report form and submit it to Health Canada.
Health Canada says that consumers should dispose of the Winnie the Pooh plush toy. Consumers can request a refund from the distributor of the product, Imports Dragons, by submitting a form by email or post. Consumers can also call the company at 1-866-559-8128.
