DescriptionNorthern Gifts RCMP Uniform Plush Toys Product description This recall involves plush toy animals from the Northern Gifts RCMP Uniform line. The plush toys are dressed in a RCMP-style red jacket with gold coloured buttons and a brown plastic belt with gold buckle.

Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects. Additionally, Health Canada testing has determined that the small gold buttons can be separated from the jackets and they pose a choking hazard to young children. Health Canada has not received reports of illness or injury to Canadians related to the use of the recalled plush toys.
