More than three million baby bottle and pacifier accessories are being recalled after the deaths of two children.
The concern is that children can choke on the accessories. The company is aware of three choking incidents, which resulted in two deaths — one in 2015 and another in 2018.
Parents who own Calico Critters flocked animal figurines and sets should check to see if their product is one of the items affected. Those who have an item under recall should contact Epoch Everlasting Play, which will inform customers how to submit a photo and information about the item to get a replacement. After submitting the documentation, owners will be instructed to destroy the recalled product.
The accessories, which were priced between $10 and $80, were sold at Walmart, Meijer, Amazon, and other stores across the country and online between January 2000 and December 2021.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has the full list of of recalled items available online as well as information on how to contact the company.
