Product description
This recall involves bath toys consisting of five ducks of various sizes. The ducks are yellow with orange beaks and blue eyes, and there is a squeaker reed embedded in the underside of the duck. The back of the package is labelled with item number 3448 and universal product code (UPC) 6903284315027.
Hazard identified
