Toy Recall:Fisher-Price 'Laugh and learn' Bunny


'Laugh and learn' bunnies pose choking hazardFisher-Price has recalled more than 28,000 "laugh and learn" bunny toys sold in Canada because the pompom noses could come off and pose a choking hazard to small children.

The recall includes about 1.2 million bunnies worldwide, but the company said it sold about 21,000 English bunnies (models K0468 and K5862) and 7,568 French bunnies (model K2965) in Canada.

The bunnies were sold across the country from May to December for about $20 each.

The company is offering buyers a $20 voucher if they have one of the problem bunnies.

Owners can contact Fisher-Price toll free at 1-866-447-5003 for information.
