What happened

Playmaker Toys is recalling Flingshot flying animal toys in six varieties (pig, monkey, frog, chicken, duck, or cow) due to choking hazards. The soft filled toy has elastic arms and fires into free flight and contains an acoustic component inside the body that lies loose and could be a choking hazard. The flying monkey variant includes a detachable cape and mask that can separate from the toy and fit entirely within a small parts cylinder, also posing a choking risk. The product does not comply with European toy safety standards.

The importer has voluntarily stopped sales of the product. The source does not specify what affected consumers should do regarding their existing purchases.
