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.
