Wal-Mart Recalls Christmas Mug Gift Sets

December 19, 2006
Wal-Mart is recalling about 70,000 Holiday Time Christmas Mug Gift Sets. The buttons could detach from the plush characters sold with the mug gift sets, posing a choking hazard to young children.

The gift sets include a decorated ceramic mug and a stuffed Santa, snowman, or reindeer. The stuffed characters measure 7-inches tall and are made of fleece-like material. Two red and green buttons are sewn down the front of the characters. "©DanDee COLLECTOR'S CHOICE®" and the product's UPC number are printed on the character's sewn-in labels.

UPC numbers are as follows: Santa 0 47475 45419 8, Snowman 0 47475 45429 7, Reindeer 0 47475 45439 6. "Holiday Time " is printed on the character's hang tag. The mug comes in three designs and measures 6-inches tall. The designs include a Santa with green background, a snowman with blue background, and a Christmas tree with green background.

The mugs were sold at Wal-Mart stores nationwide from October 2006 through December 2006 for about $5.

Consumers should immediately take the plush character away from small children and return it to their nearest Wal-Mart for a full refund.

Consumer Contact: Call Wal-Mart toll free at (800) 925-6278 between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday, or visit www.walmartstores.com for more information.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
