Toy recalled over safety fears
- Mattel has issued a recall in Australia for the Fisher-Price activity table featuring the SnugaPuppy design, due to concerns that the removable tissue box may detach and create a choking risk for young children.
- The recall followed two worldwide reports that the tissue box exposes small support brackets, creating a serious risk of injury or death by choking.
- The toy offers three play modes suitable for newborns and toddlers, including a soft mat, a spinning seat with sensory toys, and a light-up xylophone playing 20 minutes of music.

- No injuries or incidents have been reported in Australia, and the SnugaPuppy was available for purchase in the country from late 2022 through most of 2023 via retail outlets and online stores.
