Document Summary

The teddy bears manufactured in bangladesh is defective. The sharp pin hook that attaches the nose to the bear"s body pose a serious health and safety problem for all children as these can be swallowed or could cause puncture wound. The issue was identified during the course of a routine quality testing. Exactly 6,300 of the made in bangladesh bears have been purchased, 3900 bears are in our warehouse. 2,400, 600 are in still on store shelves and 1800 have been sold. We are recalling these bears at our own initiative. There haven"t been any accidents, although a child could be seriously injured is certainly possible. The parents group is demanding that we recall all (not just manufactured in bangladesh) bears as a precautionary measure. There have been extensive social media campaigns through facebook and twitter (@killerbears) for the recall.
