'Crazy' teddy row hits US state
A company in the US state of Vermont has sparked controversy with a teddy bear in a straitjacket emblazoned with a love heart for Valentine's Day.
State governor Jim Douglas and mental health advocates have attacked the "Crazy for you" cuddly toy, saying it stigmatises mental illness.
But it is proving popular with shoppers, and the Vermont Teddy Bear Co. will not withdraw it from sale.
Its president said the company was "truly sorry" for any offence caused.
