Plain-English summary

Walt Disney Parks and Resorts is recalling approximately 40,000 Disney Woody dolls sold from January 2000 through January 2003. The recall is due to buttons on the doll's clothing that can detach, creating a choking hazard for young children. The affected dolls are soft-bodied, 13 inches tall, and feature a soft plastic head, hands, boots, and hat. They are dressed in blue jeans, a red/yellow-checked shirt, a black/white-spotted vest with a sheriff's badge, and a red-patterned bandana. A label sewn into the left side seam identifies the product as made in China. Talking versions of the Woody doll are not included in this recall.

Walt Disney Parks and Resorts has received one report of a child removing a button from the doll, but no injuries have been reported. The dolls were sold for about $12.

Consumers should immediately take the doll away from children and contact Walt Disney Parks and Resorts to receive a full refund. For more information, consumers can call (866) 228-3664 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit www.waltdisneyworld.com.
