Troubleshooting

A character or mechanism is not working correctly.

Gently check if any parts are jammed or misaligned. Ensure the toy has not been exposed to moisture. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

The squeaky bunny does not squeak.

The squeaker mechanism may require a firm, downward press. Ensure there is no debris obstructing the squeaker. If it remains non-functional, it may be a manufacturing defect.

Paint appears to be chipping.

Inspect the area for any sharp edges. Minor chipping from normal play is possible with wooden toys. Avoid harsh cleaning methods that could exacerbate this. If significant chipping occurs, discontinue use.
