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.

Small grocers and convenience stores feel an impact as customers go without SNAP benefits
Some small grocery stores and neighborhood convenience stores are eager for the U.S. government shutdown to end and for their customers to start receiving federal food aid again. Late last month, the Trump administration froze funding for the SNAP benefits that about 42 million Americans use to buy groceries. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says about 74% of the assistance was spent last year at superstores like Walmart and supermarkets like Kroger. Around 14% went to smaller stores that are more accessible to SNAP beneficiaries. A former director of the United Nations World Food Program says SNAP is not only a social safety net for families but a local economic engine that supports neighborhood businesses.
