About 36,000 Build-A-Bear plush bears are being recalled due to a potential choking hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced Thursday.<\/p>\n
The recall involves the Heartwarming Hugs weighted plush bear, which features a side pouch containing a heart filled with 2.5 pounds of ceramic beads that can be heated or cooled.<\/p>\n
According to the CPSC, the pouch is secured with a zipper, but the zipper slider can detach, posing a choking hazard.<\/p>\n
No injuries have been reported, but one incident in the United Kingdom involved the zipper slider detaching, the agency said.<\/p>\n

“The safety and wellbeing of our guests and their families is our highest priority,” Build-A-Bear said in a statement. “Out of an abundance of caution, consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Heartwarming Hugs Bear and return it to a local Build-A-Bear Workshop store to receive a refund in the form of the original payment or a gift card for the purchase price.”<\/p>\n
The product is intended for ages 3 and up and includes a cautionary label advising adult supervision due to the heated and cooled element.<\/p>\n
The bears were sold at Build-A-Bear Workshop stores and online beginning in January for about $48.<\/p>\n
