WASHINGTON — A stuffed animal sold at Babies R Us, Toys R Us and online has been recalled due to a laceration hazard.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, parts inside TOMY’s Munching Max chipmunk toys could break and puncture the fabric.

It has an item number of L27578.
That number along with “TOMY” and “Lamaze” are printed on the fabric label near the stuffed animal’s tail.
