Description

This recall involves Gigglescape Under the Sea Popping Toys. The recalled toys have a clear plastic dome attached to a blue plastic base shaped like a whale. There are colored balls inside the dome, which pop up when the child pushes an external plunger at the top of the dome. The recalled popping toys have the Gigglescape brand printed on the front of the package and imprinted on the bottom of the blue plastic base.

Reported incidents: Target is aware of nine reports of the dome detaching, allowing access to the plastic balls, with one report of a child that began to choke.
