Recalls Stuffed Toy Because Of Potential Choking Hazards WASHINGTON, DC. -- Applause, Inc. of Woodland Hills, CA, is voluntarily recalling a 28-inch stuffed "Sesame Street" figure, "Cookie Monster," with rattle eyes because of a potential choking hazard to young children. The stuffed toy being recalled is identified as "Cookie Monster" (Model #14087, Made in Korea) and is made of blue plush fur.

While neither the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) nor Applause, Inc. is aware of any injuries associated with the stuffed toy, this recall is being taken to prevent the possibility of injury.
