Plain-English summary
Kids "R" Us and Babies "R" Us, divisions of Toys "R" Us Inc., are recalling about 7,000 children's cargo pants. The recall was initiated because the toggles on the leg pockets can break off, creating a choking hazard for young children.
The recalled pants are navy, khaki, or stone with different color stitching around the pockets. They feature an elastic waistband and draw-cord, and labels on the rear inside seam read "Koala Baby" or "Little Legends." The care labels indicate the pants were made in Thailand. The pants were sold in newborn and infant sizes at Kids "R" Us and Babies "R" Us stores nationwide and some Toys "R" Us stores from June 2001 through July 2001 for about $10.
Kids "R" Us has received one report of a 9-month-old boy who began to choke on a toggle that he removed from the pants. Consumers should immediately remove and discard the two toggles on the leg pockets. The pants can then be worn without the toggles. For more information, contact Toys "R" Us at (888) 243-6337 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit www.toysrus.com.
