Tonies Helene Fischer toy recall for choking hazard, Digi Mart USA News: Toy maker Tonies is recalling the figure “Helene Fischer – Die schönsten Kinderlieder” because small parts can come loose during use, creating a choking risk for young children.
The affected product carries article number 11003054. According to the manufacturer, small components can detach from the figure while it is being used.
If young children swallow these parts, there is a risk of choking.
Tonies is asking parents and other guardians to store the figure out of children’s reach immediately and to stop using it. After initial reports, the company examined the problem technically.
Production and shipment of the affected figure have since been halted.
The company said there are currently no indications that other Tonies figures are affected by a similar problem. Customers who bought the Helene Fischer figure should contact the retailer or Tonies directly.
Affected customers may choose between a refund of the purchase price and a replacement. Alternatively, they can receive a voucher equal to the purchase price for an available figure from the current Tonies range.
Tonies will also cover the return shipping costs. Information about the recall process is available online at toni.es/product-recall.
