WASHINGTON - More than 16,000 small Disney figurines have been recalled because the arms and legs can detach, posing a small part choking hazard to children, U.S. consumer safety officials said.
The recall, announced on Feb 16, involves "My First" Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Buzz Lightyear, and Stitch Figurines. A notice posted by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said about 16,140 figurines were recalled, in addition to about 600 sold in Canada.
The soft vinyl figurines measure about 4.25 to 5.25 inches high, and some of the toys have a bead rattle, the CPSC said.
The "My First" Disney figurines were sold at BuyBuy Baby and other toy, gift, and bookstores nationwide and online on Amazon between May 2022 and December 2022. The cost is between $15 and $19.
The CPSC said it has received 10 reports of small parts detaching from the figurines. No injuries have been reported.

The recall, part of a larger investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration into Tesla's automated driving systems, is the most serious action taken yet against the electric vehicle maker. The safety agency says in documents posted on its website, that Tesla will fix the concerns with an online software update in the coming weeks.
