Is my product affected?

Glowin' Dino and Glowin' Doggy Animal Flashlights

  • Brand The Little Tikes Co., of Hudson, Ohio

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Little Tikes Co. is recalling two animal-shaped flashlights sold at Target: the Glowin' Dino Flashlight and the Glowin' Doggy Flashlight. These 9-inch flashlights make electronic sounds when turned on—the dinosaur roars and the dog barks. The light green paint on the dinosaur flashlight and the brown paint on the dog flashlight may contain excess levels of lead, which is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.

The recall only affects flashlights with specific date codes on the bottom: LC5H161, LC5H291, LC5I031, LC5I091, LC5I131, LC5J061, LC5J231, and LC5J311. Flashlights without these codes, other animal flashlight characters made by Little Tikes, or those with an "R" at the end of the date code are not affected. Consumers should immediately remove the recalled flashlights from children's access and contact Little Tikes for a free replacement flashlight or refund.
