The Betesh Group Announce Recall of Busy Bug Plush Toys

In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, 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.
