Plain-English summary
The Children's Place is recalling approximately 120,000 baseball shirts and rompers for boys' sizes 3 to 36 months. The recall was initiated because the baseball-shaped buttons on the front of the garments can come off, creating a small parts choking hazard for young children. The company has received three reports of buttons detaching, but no injuries have been reported.
The recalled shirts are gray, blue, white, or red with contrasting trim and feature an embroidered baseball with the words "Baseball Place USA" on the front. The recalled rompers are gray, blue, or red with contrasting trim, featuring the same embroidery and snaps around the crotch. Both items have a neck tag reading "The Children's Place, Made in Turkey." The products were sold at The Children's Place stores nationwide from January 2000 through July 2000 for approximately $12 for shirts and $14 for rompers.
Consumers should take these clothes away from their children immediately. To obtain a full refund and a 10 percent discount coupon, consumers should return the items to the nearest The Children's Place store. For more information, consumers can call The Children's Place at (877) 752-2387.
