The product, in the report: 16 inches tall Pink and purple leopard Toy’s model/name is Reagan

We found a sewing needle in the front foot of a large Beanie Boos Reagan purchased from Claire’s in Wenatchee, Washington. Oddly enough, we have had the stuffed animal for almost 2 months, but tonight, our daughter was sitting with the toy, and when she moved the toy to my wife’s side, the needle stuck my wife. I then took the toy and found the needle. It is a sewing needle, unbroken.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(6/6/2016) TY INC.: We appreciate your bringing this matter to our attention. The complainant also brought this matter to our attention, and we have been working to resolve this matter to the complainant’s satisfaction. That said, please be assured that Ty Inc. makes every reasonable effort to ensure the safety of its products. We take great steps to ensure that our products are safe, and all of our products, including the product in question, are safety tested prior to their introduction in the market to ensure compliance with all CPSC regulations and standards, including any and all applicable CPSIA requirements. Our internal quality control procedures are also designed to prevent needles or any other foreign objects from being accidentally enclosed within our plush toys. Claims such as this are extremely rare. A couple of points do need to be made. First and foremost, the complainant advised us that no injury of any nature (minor or otherwise) occurred. Second, the complainant advised that the needle was located in the front leg of the plush toy animal (in the CPSC report, the complainant advised the needle was in the front foot, but we do not believe this is a material discrepancy). Importantly, there is no hand stitching in this area of the plush toy in question, and there would be no reasons for a needle to be anywhere near the front leg/foot. In addition, from the photograph taken, the needle appears to be a standard sewing needle. Typically, needles used in the manufacture of plush toys are much longer. Accordingly, we believe it is more likely than not that the needle was introduced into the product at some point after the manufacturing process through no fault of ours. The complainant had agreed to send us the needle for our examination, but to date we have not received it and consequently cannot comment further on its possible source.
