Disney recalls 'Toy Story 4' Forky plush toy due to choking hazard
Disney is recalling its “Toy Story 4” Forky plush toy on Monday because it poses a choking hazard to children under 3.
The 11-inch toy from the new Disney Pixar animated film contains googly eyes that could detach and lead to a child choking, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a warning to consumers. About 80,000 plush toys are being recalled in the U.S., with another 650 in Canada.

“Consumers should immediately take the recalled toy away from children and return it to any Disney Store retail location, Walt Disney World, or Disneyland Resort theme park retail store location for a full refund,” the CPSC said in a recall notice.
