Floating Duck Toy Set
Product description
This recall involves a floating duck toy set sold in a set of three. One large duck and two smaller ducks are included in a netted bag. The ducks are yellow with orange beaks, and there is a squeaker reed embedded in the underside of the duck. The tag attached to the toys is labelled "3 pcs Set canards flottant" with item number 05338 and universal product code (UPC) 062823053380.
Hazard identified
Health Canada's sampling and evaluation program has determined that the floating ducks do not meet the Canadian safety requirements for toys. The squeaker inside the ducks can be easily removed; these small parts pose a choking hazard to young children.
As of November 30, 2016, CTG Brands Inc. has received no reports of incidents or injuries.
