Product description
The recall involves Carter's Activity Butterflies with 3-inch long bendable antennae. The body of the stuffed butterfly toy is green and purple and the wings are multi-colored. The toy makes various "fun sounds" when squeezed. The stuffed stars on the ends of the antennae contain a squeaker and a rattle. The lower wings make a crinkle sound and one of the upper wings contains a mirror. The toy has model number 50052 written on a small tag behind one of its wings. A date code on the opposite side of this tag ends with, "00433," "00856," "01003," or "01148." Butterfly toys with short antennae, about 1¾-inches long, do not contain wire, and are not part of the recall.
Reason for recall
The antennae on these butterfly toys contain wire that can pass through the fabric, causing cuts and scratches to babies.
Remedy, what to do
