The hazard: Choking hazard

Small parts that can detach prompted this recall. The test the CPSC applies is whether a piece fits inside a cylinder roughly the size of a young child’s throat.

What the notice says: The toys' plastic cube can break into small parts or sharp edges, posing a risk of serious injury from choking and laceration hazards.

Why it matters: Small parts can come off this product, or it contains pieces small enough to block a young child’s airway. Children under three explore with their mouths, and a blocked airway leaves minutes, not hours.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

If a child is coughing forcefully, let them cough — that clears an object better than anything you can do. If they cannot cough, cry or breathe, call 911 and begin back blows and chest thrusts for an infant, or abdominal thrusts for an older child, if you are trained. After any episode where the object was swallowed rather than spat out, have the child checked: a piece can lodge in the oesophagus without obvious symptoms.

The toys measure between 3.5 and 3.7 inches long, between 2.5 and 3 inches tall and between 2.3 and 2.5 inches wide and were sold in various colors and animal shapes. "Stephan BABY" is printed on a sewn-in label located along the side seam on the right underside of the plush and on the front and on the underside of the toys' box packaging.

What to do about Choking

CBC Group — Small parts that can detach prompted this recall. The test the CPSC applies is whether a piece fits inside a cylinder roughly the size of a young child’s throat.

  1. Take the product away from any child under three and check the floor and furniture for pieces that have already come off.
  2. Inspect similar items from the same range or set, since detaching parts usually point to a production problem rather than one bad unit.
  3. Do not hand it down to a younger sibling or drop it at a charity shop.
  4. Follow the remedy on this page — most choking recalls are refunded in full.

Claiming your refund, repair or replacement

The recalling company decides the remedy and funds it. You should never pay for a recall repair or for return shipping.

  • Use the company contact on this page first. Most firms run a dedicated recall page with a claim form that is far quicker than their main support line.
  • If the company stops responding, escalate to the CPSC. Firms under a recall order have reporting duties to the agency.
  • Have the model number, the date code and your photos ready. Many companies issue store credit by default — ask for cash or a card reversal if you would rather have it.
  • No receipt? Say so. Recall refunds are routinely paid without proof of purchase, because the hazard is what triggers the obligation.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled toys' plastic cube and take it away from children. Consumers should contact Stephan Baby for a refund or store credit. Consumers with proof of purchase will receive a full refund. Consumers without proof of purchase will receive a $10 refund in the form of a check or a $20 stephanbaby.com store credit. Consumers will be asked to write in permanent marker "Recalled" on the indented area of the cube and upload a photo of the toy and the marked cube to https://recall.stephanbaby.com/ to receive a pre-paid shipping return label for the cube.
