Disney Recalls Infant Hoodies

Walt Disney Co. is recalling about 15,000 hoodie sweatshirts sold at its U.S. theme parks due to a potential choking hazard. The Minnie and Mickey Mouse infant sweatshirts have snaps on the hoodies that can detach and potentially choke young children, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. There have been no reports of any incidents or injuries of choking, the commission said. The sweatshirts were made in China and sold exclusively for about $30 at gift shops at Disneyland in Anaheim and at Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Fla. and through a mobile app. Purchasers of the sweatshirts are asked to contact Disney Parks and Resorts to receive instructions on returning them for a full refund, according to the commission. Shares in Disney closed up $1.36, or just more than a percent, to $107.44 on the New York Stock Exchange.
