J.C. Penney Recalls Okie Dokie Children's Pajama Sets Due to Choking Hazard

Plain-English summary

J.C. Penney Corporation is recalling approximately 41,300 Okie Dokie Alligator Football Pajama Sets. The recalled pajama shirts are heather gray with red or blue sleeves and feature heat-sealed alligator and football patches on the front. The collar tag reads "Okie Dokie." The accompanying pajama pants are red or blue with cartoon pictures of alligators, footballs, and stars, and the word "football." These sets were sold in infant sizes 12M to 24M and toddler sizes 2T to 5T. This recall does not include pajama sets with silk-screen images instead of patches.

The heat-sealed patches on the front of the garment can detach, posing a possible choking hazard to young children. There has been one report of a patch detaching, but no injuries have been reported.

The pajama sets were sold at J.C. Penney stores nationwide from June 2004 through September 2004 for about $22. Consumers should immediately stop using the pajama sets and return them to the store where purchased for a refund. For additional information, consumers can contact the J.C. Penney Customer Service Department toll-free at (888) 333-6063 or visit www.jcpenney.com.
