Hobby Lobby recalls plush toys over choking hazard
Hobby Lobby recalled about 21,230 Giraffe and Llama plush toys due to detachable parts releasing small beads, posing a choking hazard, with no injuries reported.
- On January 20, 2026, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall of about 21,230 units of the Giraffe Plush Toy with clip and Llama Plush Toy with clip sold by Hobby Lobby.
- Sold from May 2025 through December 2025, the toys were imported from Chinese manufacturers and sold nationwide; a leg can detach and release small beads, posing a choking hazard to infants and toddlers, the CPSC said.
- Look for sewn-in labels HL699436 or HL731481 to identify affected units; the Giraffe Plush Toy is about nine inches with a yellow claw clip, and the Llama Plush Toy is about 12 inches with a green claw clip, mirror, and teether.
- The CPSC labeled the action a 'Fast Track Recall,' noting Hobby Lobby moved quickly with the agency to remove the products and advised consumers to stop using the toys and return them for a full refund.
- CPSC records show one report of a detached leg releasing beads, but no injuries have been reported, with the recall notice reported from Los Angeles.
