What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with Lil' Buddies Pet Laser Toy?
Lil' Buddies Pet Laser Toy was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The Montessori toy sets contain an airplane shaped teething toy that has tentacle ends that can pose a choking hazard to young children. The toys also violate the teething toy provision of the mandatory standard for children's toys. This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should stop using the recalled pet toys, place them in an area that children cannot access and properly dispose of the batteries. Contact JC Sales for a full refund. Customers will be asked to email a photograph of the disposed items to Recall@jcsales.net. Note: Button cell batteries are hazardous. Batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures. Sold at: VR Wholesale (Arizona), Viva Bargain (California), and various discount stores nationwide and online at jcsalesweb.com from February 2023 through November 2025 for about $1.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
How many units are affected?
About About 51,160 units of Lil' Buddies Pet Laser Toy are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
