Hazard

Remedy

Consumers should immediately take the toy away from young children and contact LeapFrog to receive a replacement My Pal Scout with embroidered paws rather than decals.

Incidents & injuries

LeapFrog has received two reports of children removing the decals from this toy, including one report of a child ingesting part of the decal.
