Busy Bug Plush Toys
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), The Betesh Group of New York, N.Y., is voluntarily
recalling about 11,200 "Busy Bug" plush toys. The antennae of the plush
toy can be chewed or pulled off, posing a choking hazard to young
children.
CPSC and The Betesh Group have received two reports of children
gagging on the fabric antennae ends that separated from the toy.
The recalled toy is a small plush bug with two springy black
antennae with orange round fabric ends. The bug has a blue stuffed round
face with a red musical nose that blinks when pressed. The body of the
bug is segmented in various colors and patterns. Striped elastic legs
are attached to the body along with crinkly, iridescent wings. "Smart
Scents," and "Made In China" are printed on a label on the side of the
bug. The UPC code 778267862920 is on the packaging.
Discount department stores sold these recalled toys from August
2002 through January 2003 for about $7.
Consumers should take the plush toys away from young children and
return to the place of purchase or mail the toy to The Betesh Group at
One East 33rd Street, New York, NY 10016, Att: Consumer Relations, to
receive a refund including postage. For additional information, contact
Betesh toll free at (866) 473-0118 anytime.
