Harrods teddy bears are being recalled due to high levels of formaldehyde. Around 800 bears sold by the London department store between 2 July and 26 July have been found to have a higher than usual amount of the methanol derivative in the foot pads, Lara spotted in today's Telegraph.co.uk.
A Harrods spokesman told the Telegraph that the formaldehyde risk was very low, but that "prolonged contact with the footpads from these bears over an extended number of months could in some cases cause irritation to sensitive skin."
