Last week, Build-A-Bear Workshop announced that it will be recalling almost 300,000 “Colorful Hearts Teddy Bears” sold in the United States and Canada between April and December of this year.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission claims that the eyes on the teddy bear could become loose and fall out, creating a choking hazard for young children. No injuries related to the recall have been reported.

The “Colorful Hearts Teddy Bears” are white with multicolored hearts. Consumers who have purchased the teddy bear can bring it into any Build-A-Bear Workshop store and exchange it for a coupon for any stuffed animal.

The Maryland parents of a 17-year-old girl, who died after wisdom tooth surgery,are suing the oral surgeon and anesthesiologist associated with the procedure.

The teenager died from complications of hypoxia, which occurs when not enough oxygen is distributed to an individual while under anesthesia. The surgery happened on March 28 and within 10 days she had fallen into a coma and passed away.

While under anesthesia, the girl’s heart rate plummeted and her blood oxygen levels decreased. The parents are claiming negligence on behalf of the doctors involved in the medical malpractice lawsuit because they missed warning signs during the surgery that could have saved the teenager’s life.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victim’s family and friends during this hard time.

After a successful holiday season of bell ringing and donation collection last year, 12-year old miniature horse Tinker is once again working with the Salvation Army to collect donations across southeast Wisconsin this year.

Like many Salvation Army volunteers, Tinker waits outside of stores and rings a red bell in hopes that charitable holiday shoppers will make a donation to the organization’s Red Kettle campaign.

Salvation Army officials say that Tinker collects about $400 to $600 more than other bell ringers.  The miniature horse was given an award earlier this year for his work with the charity.

On December 17, Tinker will take donations at the Walmart in Germantown from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.  He will also appear at the Pick N’ Save South in West Bend on December 24 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

The Rhinelander personal injury lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. hope all have a safe and enjoyable holiday season.  WISN has more information on this story.

Last month, two parents from Royal Oak filed suit against the manufacturer of a portable baby recliner called the Nap Nanny.

The wrongful death lawsuit involves the death of a couple’s 4-month old daughter.  The couple had installed the Nap Nanny in their daughter’s crib.  They found her not breathing with her head caught between a part of the baby recliner and the crib.

After the infant’s death, Nap Nanny’s manufacturer issued a recall of 30,000 units of the defective child care product.  The company is accused of negligence for not properly warning consumers of potential suffocation hazards associated with baby recliner.
