Light Up Rubber Duck
Product description
This recall involves a light-up rubber duck toy. The product comes in four different colours-orange, yellow, pink and green with dark orange for the beak. There is a squeaker reed embedded in the underside of the duck. The item #10967 and UPC #809519109675 can be found on the label which is attached to the bottom of the duck.
