Target Recalls Water Absorbing Toys Due to Serious Ingestion Hazard

Is my product affected?

Water-absorbing Easter and Dino toys

  • Brand Target Corp., of Minneapolis, Minn.

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

What happened

Target is recalling three water-absorbing toy products: Hatch & Grow Easter Eggs (model 234-25-1200), Easter Grow Toys (model 234-25-1200), and Hatch Your Own Dino (model 234-09-0016). These toys pose a serious ingestion hazard because if swallowed, they can expand inside a child's body and cause intestinal obstructions. The consequences can include severe discomfort, vomiting, dehydration, and potentially life-threatening complications that may require surgery to remove the toy. Medical professionals and parents should be aware that these toys may not appear on x-rays, making diagnosis more difficult.

The recalled products include Hatch & Grow Easter Eggs in pink, blue, or purple with white bunny, brown bunny, or butterfly figures; Easter Grow Toys with yellow chick, brown bunny, or white bunny figures; and Hatch Your Own Dino Eggs in purple or yellow/green containing one of eleven dinosaur figures. According to the recall, consumers should immediately remove the toys from children and return them to any Target store for a full refund.
