Description
The recalled bears come in three sizes: small (8 1/2"), medium (12") and large (17"). The recalled bears have plastic eyes and noses, and red ribbon bows with bells. They are made of alpaca fur. The bears have a small sticker on the back side of the ribbon, which reads, in part, "Made in Peru."

Reported injuries
CPSC and Inca Imports have not received any reports of injuries. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injuries.
Remedy
Consumers should take these stuffed bears away from young children immediately and return them to the store where they were purchased, for a full refund.
