Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Build-A-Bear Workshop Inc. is recalling approximately 33,600 Starbrights Dragon stuffed animals sold in the United States and an additional 1,000 in Canada. The recall was initiated because the satin seam of the stuffed animal can open, allowing the stuffing material to be exposed. This poses a choking hazard for young children.

The recalled toys are covered in blue furry fabric with a silver satin tummy, feet pads, wings, and horns. The horns light up and the toy makes a musical sound when the hand is squeezed. The stuffed animals are about 17 inches high. The tracking label ending with 9333 or 9334 for the USA and 9337 or 9459 for Canada can be found on the label sewn on the backside of the leg.

The products were sold at Build-A-Bear Workshop stores and online at www.buildabear.com between April 2015 and August 2015 for about $25. No injuries have been reported. Consumers should immediately take the recalled stuffed animal away from children and return it to any Build-A-Bear Workshop store to receive a coupon for any Build-A-Bear stuffed animal.
