Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced on September 3, 1987, that a brown 7-inch stuffed plush teddy bear distributed by C.M. Paula Company of Cincinnati, Ohio is banned. The bear presents a choking and laceration or puncture hazard due to small plastic and fabric flowers attached to wire stems and a red ribbon on the bear's torso, along with a possible paper tag. During testing, the flowers detached and exposed sharp wire ends. The bears can be identified by a label on the bottom stating "Made in Korea for the C.M. Paula Company, Cincinnati, Ohio," and approximately 15,000 to 20,000 are distributed annually at a retail price of about $8.00. No injuries have been reported.
According to the record, consumers who purchased these teddy bears for children should immediately remove and discard the flowers and wires to eliminate the hazards. Retailers should do the same with any of these bears remaining in stock. For reporting unsafe products or receiving safety information, consumers can call the CPSC's toll-free hotline at 1-800-638-CPSC, or 1-301-595-7054 for hearing-impaired callers.
