Plain-English summary

Samara Brothers LLC is recalling two styles of children's two-piece overall sets, including a red plaid denim set and a navy blue corduroy set. The recall involves approximately 200 units of the "Starting Out Shirt and Overalls," which were sold in sizes ranging from 3 to 24 months. The products feature decorative train appliqués and were sold at Dillard's nationwide during October 2006.

The recall was initiated because the coatings on the snaps in the overalls and shirts contain excessive amounts of lead. This poses a serious risk of lead poisoning and adverse health effects to young children who may put the snaps in their mouths. No incidents or injuries have been reported in connection with these products.

Consumers should stop using the products immediately. To obtain a full refund, consumers should contact Samara Brothers at (800) 985-9975 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, visit www.samararecall.com, or email [email protected].
