Plain-English summary

Shopko Stores Inc. is recalling approximately 9,800 units of Peek-A-Babe baby garments, including one-piece coveralls and two-piece babydoll-style top and legging sets. These 100 percent cotton garments were sold in sizes 0-3M to 24M. The coveralls feature peach-colored knit tops with cream-colored collars and three cream-colored, rose-shaped buttons on the center front. The babydoll tops are made of cream-colored knit fabric with peach-colored collars and three peach-colored, rose-shaped buttons on the center front.

The recall is being issued because the rose-shaped buttons on these garments can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children. CPSC and Shopko Stores have received one report of a button found in a child's mouth, but no injuries were reported.

Shopko stores nationwide sold these garments from June 1999 through October 1999 for between $8 and $15. Consumers should immediately stop using these garments and return them to Shopko for a refund. For more information, consumers can call Shopko at (800) 791-7333 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday CT, or visit the Shopko website at www.shopko.com.
