What Is Being Recalled?
CBC Group, Inc., of Phoenix, Arizona, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), is recalling about 227,500 Stephan Baby Boo Bunnie and Friends children's toys sold in the United States, along with about 1,400 sold in Canada. The recall was announced April 30, 2026, and assigned recall number 26-456.The recall covers the removable, water-filled plastic cube that comes with all models of the Stephan Baby Boo Bunnie and Friends toys — the cube can be chilled in the freezer and used to soothe a baby. The plush animal itself is not affected by the recall, and consumers can keep it. The toys were sold in various colors and animal shapes and measure between 3.5 and 3.7 inches long, 2.5 and 3 inches tall and 2.3 and 2.5 inches wide. Only the clear water-filled cube is included; colored cubes are not part of the recall. The toys were sold under the Stephan Baby brand at independent stores nationwide and online on Stephanbaby.com, Amazon, Walmart, Target and other retailers from August 2017 through January 2026 for about $9.
Why Are the Toys Dangerous?
According to the CPSC recall notice, the toy's removable water-filled plastic cube can break into small parts or sharp edges, posing choking and laceration hazards that can cause serious injury to a child. The CPSC reported 20 incidents of the plastic cube cracking or breaking, including one report of a child who swallowed sharp fragments.Because a broken cube can release small, sharp pieces, the CPSC advises consumers to stop using the recalled cube immediately and to keep it away from children until it is returned.
