The recall affects all designs and sizes of the cute and cuddly Inkari alpacas except the XXL size.

The toys carry a label saying they are suitable for ages 0+ but do not comply with the mandatory standard for toys for children up and including 36 months, according to a notice on the Product Safety website.

The toys were made in Peru but sold internationally and online between August 1 20203 and 31 July 2025.

Anyone with one of the affected Inkari alpacas in their home should keep them out of the reach of children immediately and contact the company for a refund.
