Target Recalls Children’s Frog Masks

The third week of October, The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Target Corp., of Minneapolis, Minn., recalled 3,400 Children’s frog masks.

The plush frog masks lack proper ventilation. When secured in place across a child’s face, it presents a suffocation hazard to the child.

This recall involves child-sized frog-themed animal masks. The plush mask is green with yellow and red highlights. There are two eye cutouts and a green elastic band with a fastener used to secure the mask at the back of the child’s head. UPC code 06626491474 is printed on a label attached to the mask. The masks were sold at Target stores nationwide from August 2011 through September 2011 for about $1. The masks were made in China.

Consumers should immediately take masks from young children and return the product to any Target store for a full refund. Target can be contacted toll-free at (800) 440-0680 or through their website at www.target.com.

Early investigation can include the collection of product, checking recall alerts, and the proper notifying of those who caused the problem.
