Communicorp Aflac Plush Promotional Ducks
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
Components of the recalled promotional ducks contain levels of certain phthalates that exceed the federal phthalate content standard. A component of the promotional fishing duck also contains a level of lead that exceeds the federal lead content standard. Phthalates and lead are toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health issues.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Lead exposure risk.
