Bottle Cap Bear Key Chains
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Team Beans LLC, of East Brunswick, N.J., is recalling
about 8,000 "Bottle Cap Bear" key chains. A miniature "Coca-Cola" bottle
that attaches to the body of the plush bear key chain can come off,
posing a choking hazard to young children. Team Beans LLC imported the
key chains as part of a licensing agreement with The Coca-Cola Co.
Team Beans LLC has not received any reports of bottles attached to
the key chains coming off. This recall is being announced to prevent the
possibility of injuries.
The 4-inch "Bottle Cap Bear" key chains feature an auto-racing
theme. The bears have white heads and tails, and hold a miniature "Coca-
Cola" bottle in their left paws. The bears' outfits contain colors and
insignia associated with selected professional racecar drivers. The
featured driver's racing number is written on a bottle cap design on the
bear's front. The back of each bear has a patch that contains the words,
"THE COCA-COLATM RACING FAMILY," and a black and white checkered "Coca-
Cola" bottle in the middle.
Select auto racing souvenir shops and collectibles stores
nationwide sold the key chains from January 2002 through July 2002 for
about $10
Consumers should take the key chains away from children
immediately, and return them to Team Beans for a refund or credit plus
postage. Mail the item to Team Beans Forever Collectibles, Attention:
