In Wake of Second Death, CPSC and Burger King Again Urge Consumers to Destroy and Discard Pokemon Balls
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
The balls pose a suffocation hazard to children under three years of age.
What to do
Consumers should immediately take the balls away from children under the age of three. They should discard the ball or return both halves of the ball and the clip to a Burger King restaurant for a free order of small fries. Children can continue to use the Pokémon toy that came inside the ball.
