Wal-Mart is recalling approximately 70,000 Holiday Time Christmas Mug Gift Sets. The buttons on the plush characters included with the mug sets, can detach posing a choking hazard to young children.

The gift set includes a decorated mug and a stuff Santa, snowman or reindeer. The characters measure 7-inches tall and they are made from fleece-like material. Two green and red buttons are sewn down the front of each character.

UPC numbers are as follows: Santa 0 47475 45419 8, Snowman 0 47475 45429 7, Reindeer 0 47475 45439 6. "Holiday Time " is printed on the character's hang tag. The mug comes in three designs and measures 6-inches tall. The designs include a Santa with green background, a snowman with blue background, and a Christmas tree with green background.

The mugs were sold at Wal-Mart stores nationwide from October 2006 through December 2006 for about $5.
Consumers should immediately take the plush character away from small children and return it to their nearest Wal-Mart for a full refund.
