Teddy bears

The Mazel Co. of Solon, Ohio, is recalling 835 Teddy Precious Indian girl and boy stuffed bears because their Native American-style beads can detach, causing children to inhale or choke on them.

The recall is preventive; no injuries have been reported to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The 18-inch, light brown bears have brown vinyl clothing trimmed with Native American embroidery and a label sewn to the bear's foot reading, "Teddy Precious." A sewn-in tag reads in part, "Dandee International Limited...Made in China."
