11 March 2022
Australia Post has withdrawn from sale and is conducting a voluntary recall of the following product:
- Squeeze Bead Plush Animal Toy
Please see the recall notice below.
What’s happened?
The recall is happening because:
- the toy’s inner bubble casing may burst and release water-absorbing polymer beads. When exposed to liquid, the balls expand.
- if swallowed, the polymer beads can become large enough to create a gastrointestinal blockage causing vomiting, severe discomfort and dehydration and may need to be surgically removed.
What do I need to do?
- consumers should stop using the Squeeze Bead Plush Animal Toy immediately and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
- return the product to any Australia Post outlet for a full refund.
We’re sorry
Australia Post takes situations like these very seriously, and we apologise if this has caused any inconvenience.
