Description
This recall involves My Pal Scout, a green and beige electronic plush dog with plastic decals on its paws. When those decals are pushed, the dog plays songs, speaks and barks. "Scout" is printed on the dog tag at the dog's neck. The plush dog measures about 9 inches high by 9 inches wide. "LeapFrog Ent. Item No. 19142" is printed on the white tag attached to the dog and on the toy's packaging. My Pal Scout dogs with embroidered paws are not included in this recall.
Hazard
The decals on the paws of the plush toy can be removed and ingested by a child, posing a choking hazard.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately take the toy away from young children and contact LeapFrog to receive a replacement My Pal Scout with embroidered paws rather than decals.
Incidents and injuries
LeapFrog has received two reports of children removing the decals from this toy, including one report of a child ingesting part of the decal.
