Baby Alive doll recall (Island of Sally, 2003)

The Baby Alive doll recall was a recall on dolls released in November 2003 to promote Baby Alive, a TV series produced by Mailbox Productions. The dolls contained traces of beef inside their eyes.

The toys were recalled because the beef caused serious health problems to those who had an allergy to cows. Sara Smith, aged 12, reported “The doll my little sister got caused a bad smell throughout the house. I think it was beef”.
