Description

The recalled bears come in three sizes: small (8 1/2"), medium (12") and large (17"). The recalled bears have plastic eyes and noses, and red ribbon bows with bells. They are made of alpaca fur. The bears have a small sticker on the back side of the ribbon, which reads, in part, "Made in Peru."

The noses, bells, and eyes of the bears can detach, presenting a choking hazard to young children. The eyes also present a sharp point hazard.

Reported Incidents

Remedy

Consumers should take these stuffed bears away from young children immediately and return them to the store where they were purchased, for a full refund.
