Recall of 80,000 “Founding Bear” stuffed bears
A St. Louis-based company is recalling 80,000 “Founding Bear” stuffed animals, due to a potential choking hazard. The stuffed bears’ snouts are prone to being pulled off, and young children can choke on the nose. The recall applies to two models of the stuffed animals: the Founding Bear II. The recalled bears have cream-colored paws and snouts, and are available in brown and cream-colored colors.
The recalled stuffed animals were made by Build-A-Bear Workshop. They are approximately 18-inches long and feature a removable, floppy nose. They were sold nationwide from 2000 to 2002. Affected bears are brown in color with cream-colored paws and snouts. Both bears feature cardboard tags with the words “OUR FOUNDING BEAR” written on them.
Free birthday bear
You can still score a free Build-A-Bear with this promotion. However, you will have to visit the store during your child’s birthday month. If you’re able to, consider a Birthday Treat Bear, which is a $14 value, for only $1. There are other ways to score a free birthday build-a-bear, though, including using the Count Your Candles program.
In addition to a free birthday gift, the Build-A-Bear Workshop also offers special birthday pricing. This means that if your child turns one, they can get a PS1 bear for free! If your child is turning five, the price goes up to PS5. But you can get a free birthday build-a-bear at the same time as purchasing a gift card to the store. During this special offer, children can choose from a wide variety of birthday bears and accessories.
If you’re looking for a free birthday build-a-bear, you can also check out the Bonus Club for free rewards. This program is available in most Build-A-Bear stores. You’ll just need to enter your child’s age in the registration form and you’ll receive a coupon code for a free birthday bear. If your child is under the age of 14, you can sign him up as a Bonus Club member to get his or her own birthday bear.
Cleaning a build-a-bear
If you’re tired of constantly throwing away your build-a-bear, here are some tips for cleaning it. First, make sure you have a soft cloth that’s free of lint and detergent. To clean Build-A-Bear toys, use the Bear Stuff Cleaner. This product is specifically made for Build-A-Bear toys. You can use this cleaner often without damaging your build-a-bear. Make sure to wipe off the cleaner with a clean cloth and leave the toy to dry naturally.
If you’re worried about destroying your precious bear, you can use a pillowcase or lingerie laundry bag to protect it from water while it’s in the wash. Make sure to tie the end of the pillowcase securely so that the bear won’t fall out during the wash cycle. When washing the Build-A-Bear, select a gentle/delicate cycle and use cold water. If your build-a-bear has a built-in sound device, you can remove it before washing it.
Adding a sound chip
If your build a bear doesn’t have a voice recorder, you may want to add a sound chip to it. You can purchase these for $4 to $8 USD. To make a sound chip, you need to switch on the recording feature and hold the REC/play button for at least one second. Then listen for the beeps to hear the sound. If the sound is muffled, you can use the REC setting on the switch.
If you have a microphone, you can record a special message or song for your build a bear. You can even record your own voice and have the message played back with a press of the bear’s paw. This is the most time-consuming part of the whole process, but you can create an earring for your stuffed animal if you’d like. To do so, go to the Build-A-Bear website and select “Record Your Voice.”
