Plain-English summary

Nadel & Sons Toy Corp. of New York, N.Y., is voluntarily recalling about 8,000 stuffed bears in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall involves 12- and 13-inch Pajama Bears manufactured in China. The eyes of these bears can become detached, presenting a choking hazard to young children.

CPSC and Nadel & Sons are aware of one incident where a child started to choke as a result of a detached eye from one of these bears. The 12-inch bear is white with brown eyes and a pink nose and mouth, wearing pajamas with gray and mint green or yellow and peach floral prints. The 13-inch bear is white with black eyes and a black nose, wearing pajamas with a multicolored fish or dinosaur design and a red bow on a white collar. Both bears have sewn-in labels reading "Nadel & Sons Toy Corp...Made in China."

The bears were distributed from October 1995 to May 1997 as prizes at game booths or in game machines at amusement parks and roadside entertainment centers, including Busch Gardens Theme Park in Tampa, Fla.; Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster, Pa.; and Play Day Amusements in Seaside Heights, N.J. Consumers should take these stuffed bears away from young children immediately and return them to Nadel & Sons Toy Corp. for a $5 refund plus the cost of postage.
