WASHINGTON - A New Jersey company is recalling about eight-thousand ``Bottle Cap Bear'' key chains because a miniature Coca-Cola bottle attached to the plush bear could come off, creating a choking hazard for small children. <br>
<br>
The Consumer Product Safety Commission said today that Team Beans, of East Brunswick, has not received any reports of injuries or of bottles coming off. <br>
<br>
The recalled 4-inch key chains feature a plush white bear holding a miniature bottle in its left paw. The bear's outfit features an auto racing theme with a featured driver's racing number printed on the bear's front and the words ``THE COCA-COLA RACING FAMILY'' on the back. <br>
<br>
Auto racing souvenir shops and collectible stores nationwide sold the key chains from January 2000 through July 2002. <br>
<br>
Consumers can return the key chains to Team Beans for a full refund by contacting the company at 1-866-336-5207.
