The Hazard
CHOKING
Hobby Lobby is recalling Giraffe and Llama plush toys because the legs can break off, releasing small beads. These beads are a choking hazard for young children. If you have these toys, stop using them immediately and return them to Hobby Lobby for a refund.
One report of leg detachment with bead release. No injuries reported.
Technical Breakdown
The recall affects Giraffe and Llama plush toys sold at Hobby Lobby between May 2025 and December 2025. The legs of the toys are attached in a way that they can detach, especially with rough play. When the legs come off, small beads inside are released, which could be swallowed by a child, leading to choking or other serious health problems.
The company has received one report of a leg detaching and beads being released. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported so far. However, to prevent any potential harm to children, Hobby Lobby is issuing this recall and urging customers to return the affected toys.
