What to do if you have a recalled Fisher-Price toy
Families are encouraged to stop using the recalled dumbbell toys immediately. They should contact Fisher-Price to obtain a refund. They can go to Mattel’s website for instructions on how to upload a photo of the toy to get a refund.
“Consumers will be paid $10 for the purchase of the dumbbell once they confirm they will dispose of it as directed,” Fisher-Price said. “Consumers do not need to provide proof of purchase (receipt) to receive a refund for the dumbbell.”
Those who have problems filing claims online can contact the company at 855-853-6224 between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Eastern Time.
This is not the first time Fisher-Price has recalled products. The company recalled Rock ‘n Play sleeper beds in 2019 and 2023, drawing attention to the dangers of sleeping on an incline.
“We remain committed to educating parents and caregivers about the safe use of all of our products, including the importance of following all warnings and instructions to ensure the health and safety of infants and children,” Fisher-Price said in the latest recall statement.
