“Moose Toys Recalls Little Live Pets Lil Frog Over Battery Hazards.” GovInfoNow, updated October 11, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/3927-moose-toys-recalls-little-live-pets-lil-frog-over-battery. Based on CPSC recall #7983 (https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2017/Moose-Toys-Recalls-Toy-Frogs).

Why it’s dangerous

The hazard occurs when the battery compartment is opened to remove button batteries. The battery's cap can detach and fly off as a projectile, and the chemicals inside the batteries may leak out, posing both physical injury and chemical burn risks.

Who’s affected

Parents and caregivers who purchased Little Live Pets Lil Frog or Lil Frog Lily Pad toys between August 2016 and February 2017 from retailers like Target, Walmart, Amazon, Toys "R" Us, or AAFES. Children are at risk of injury from projectile caps or chemical exposure.

How to tell if you have this one

Check the frog's lower belly near the left thigh for SKU numbers 28217 (Lil Frog) or 28218 (Lil Frog Lily Pad). Look for a manufacture date code under the SKU ranging from WS112016 to WS123216. The toys come in pink, blue, and green colors.
