Don't get stung by these recalled insects

More than 300,000 plush Cuddly Cousin insect toys were recalled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission today because the toys have small parts that can become detached and pose a choking hazard. The six different bugs—a lady bug, bumble bee, caterpillar, snail and two butterflies—were sold at dollar stores nationwide from March to December of last year.

The bugs came in a variety of colors with the product number 903995 and UPC of 6 39277 03995 8 with a date code of 71. They were sold at Dollar Tree, Dollar Bill$, Dollar Express, Greenbacks, Only One $1 and Deal$ stores. The CPSC recommends that consumers immediately take the plush toys from their children and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund.
