Reason for Recall
The fish's size, texture, shape and easy compressibility make it possible for an infant to compress the toy and place it in his or her mouth. If the toy reaches the back of the mouth and expands, it may block the child's airway.
Action Taken
Consumers should immediately take these squirting fish away from young children and throw them away.
