Victoria's Secret bears pulled for choking hazard

About 80 stuffed bears sold through Victoria's Secret are being recalled because a zipper pull can come loose, creating a choking hazard to children, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Wednesday.
The bears, manufactured in pink and leopard prints, were sold through the company's website during October 2007 for about $8 US.
China-based Chang Zhou Ganghua Mfg. made the bears.
No associated injuries have been reported.
Consumers should stop using the bears and keep them out children's reach. The company is sending affected customers return information.
