Plain-English summary
The Boppy Company is recalling approximately 38,000 velvet and boa slipcovers intended for use with the Boppy® Bare Naked nursing and support pillow. The recall addresses two distinct safety issues: zipper pulls that can break and pose a choking hazard to young children, and paint on the zippers that contains excess levels of lead, violating federal lead paint standards.
The slipcovers were sold at discount department stores nationwide. Those recalled for the choking hazard were sold from July 2006 through September 2007 for about $16. Those recalled for lead paint were sold from February 2007 through September 2007 for between $15 and $17. The products were manufactured in China.
