Target Recalls 560,000 Easter Toys Due to Serious Ingestion Risk
In a rather worrisome turn of events, retail behemoth Target has announced the recall of approximately 560,000 Easter-themed toys due to significant ingestion hazards. These water-absorbing toys, including the Hatch & Grow Easter Eggs, Easter Grow Toys, and Hatch Your Own Dino, were widely available in stores across the country in the months leading up to the holiday. Many parents likely picked up a few from Target’s Dollar Spot, where each toy was priced around $1.
If you’ve purchased one of these toys, it’s crucial to return it to Target for a full refund. Thankfully, no injuries have been reported so far. However, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warns that if a child swallows one of these small toys, it can expand inside their body, leading to intestinal blockages that may cause severe pain, vomiting, dehydration, and potentially life-threatening situations. In such cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the toy.
Imagine the panic of a child swallowing a toy—it’s a nightmare for both the child and their parents. To compound matters, medical professionals may not even be able to spot these toys on an x-ray. If you suspect your child has ingested one, make sure to inform your doctor that it might not be visible on imaging tests.
Details of the Recalled Toys
The Hatch & Grow Easter Eggs and Easter Grow Toys feature model number 234-25-1200 on their packaging, while the Hatch Your Own Dino Egg is labeled 234-09-0016. The Easter Eggs come in pink, blue, or purple and are adorned with various cute designs like bunnies and butterflies. The Hatch Your Own Dino Eggs are available in purple or yellow-green and contain one of eleven different dinosaurs.
