The Fairy Doll toy was sold as an accessory with the purchase of a Unicorn Animal Sleeping Bag. The stuffed fairy doll has a sewn-on pompom nose, a pink satin dress with glitter netting as a ruffled collar, sleeves and dress apron.

Also included are a large unicorn pillow and small flat unicorn. The unicorn attachments are not included in the recall.
