Fisher-Price Issues Recall for Brunch & Go Stroller Toy Because They Can Pose Choking Hazard for Infants
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS (April 23, 2025) – The popular Brunch & Go Stroller Toy by Fisher-Price has been recalled because it can pose a choking hazard to young children.
The recall was issued on April 10, 2025. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, roughly 253,000 units were sold.
The device has a soft piece of toast with avocado slices that are connected to a toy egg and toy bacon. Apparently, the yolk on the toy egg may inadvertently crack and break into smaller pieces.
This can create a serious choking hazard for small children. Fisher-Price has received at least five reports of the toy egg on the Brunch & Go Stroller Toy breaking.
No injuries have been reported at this time. The devices were initially manufactured in China and Vietnam.
Liability for Injuries Involving Children’s Toys
Many children have been injured or died after choking on small pieces from toys and other consumer products. According to the International Journal of Pediatrics, “Children’s products contain small parts or release small parts through detachment or breakage during normal play, which pose choking hazards and may be undetectable to parents and caregivers. Small parts have caused choking-related deaths in over 90 children between 2001 and 2012, as cited in the 28th Annual Survey of Toy Safety.” Companies should take a number of measures in order to ensure that children’s toys don’t become choking hazards.
- Safety Guidelines: Companies should ensure that they understand and abide by all safety guidelines set forth by consumer agencies like the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
- Age-Appropriate: Companies must design toys that are age-appropriate for the intended group they are being marketed and sold to.
- Secure Parts: Companies must ensure that all small parts on a toy are properly attached and not likely to randomly come off, even if a child is exerting force.
- Testing: Companies must perform mechanical tests to simulate all the real-world use that a toy is likely to encounter.
Companies that design consumer toys have a legal obligation to ensure that they are reasonably safe. This includes making sure that all parts of a toy are not likely to break apart. To that end, toys must be made of sturdy materials, capable of withstanding all of the real-world scenarios they will go through. If a toy has designed defects that cause it to become a choking hazard, this could form the basis of a negligence claim. A company could also be liable for failing to warn that their toy poses an inherent choking hazard.
Fisher-Price has faced numerous lawsuits after children have been harmed by their products. Consider, for example, Cunningham ex rel. Cunningham v. Quaker Oats Co., Fisher-Price Division. A young boy became physically and mentally disabled after they choked on a Little People figurine from Fisher-Price. Attorneys for the plaintiff argued that the toy figures were inherently unsafe. They also alleged that Fisher-Price failed to adequately warn consumers about the dangers associated with the toy. The case was ultimately settled for $2.5 million. Several steps should be taken after any injury involving a consumer product.
- Medical Records: Parents should collect all medical records related to any injury.
- Evidence Preservation: The toy or product involved in the injury should be kept and stored in a secure location where it is not likely to cause harm.
- Investigation: It should be determined if the toy or product involved was the subject of any recall.
- Legal Counsel: The family of any child injured by a toy or consumer product should seek the guidance of an experienced product liability attorney.
It can be hard to know where to begin if you are a parent whose child was injured by a consumer product. Parents expect that the toys they buy for their children are safe. But in many situations, companies cut corners in terms of design and safety standards. This has led to numerous situations where toys have had to be recalled. It is important for parents to understand that they do have legal options if their child is injured by a toy or other consumer product. They are able to seek damages through a personal injury claim.
