4 Count Rubber Ducks in Net Bag

Product description

This recall involves four rubber ducks sold in a netted bag with item number 52220 and universal product code (UPC) 801362522205. The rubber ducks are yellow with an orange beak, and they have a squeaker embedded in the underside of the toy.

Hazard identified

Health Canada's sampling and evaluation program has determined that the rubber ducks do not meet the Canadian safety requirements for toys. The squeaker inside the rubber ducks can be easily removed; these small parts pose a choking hazard to young children.
