Plain-English summary
Kmart Corporation is recalling Basic Editions infant and toddler girls' rompers. The recalled rompers are pink and white gingham with pink buttons and crocheted cherry-shape tassels on the pocket and green and white gingham bows on the trim of the leg openings. They were sold in infant sizes 12 months to 24 months and toddler sizes 2T to 5T. The label inside the neck reads "MADE IN/HECHO EN BANGLADESH" and "basic EDITIONS®".
