The antennae of the plush toy can be chewed or pulled off, posing a choking hazard to young children.CPSC and The Betesh Group have received two reports of children gagging on the fabric antennae ends that separated from the toy. The recalled toy is a small plush bug with two springy black antennae with orange round fabric ends. The bug has a blue stuffed round face with a red musical nose that blinks when pressed. The body of the bug is segmented in various colors and patterns. Striped elastic legs are attached to the body along with crinkly, iridescent wings.

Discount department stores sold these recalled toys from August 2002 through January 2003 for about $7.
