The products were manufactured in Pakistan by Millennium Apparel Group of New York, N.Y., and sold at Kmart stores nationwide during July 2007 for about $17 per set. Approximately 13,000 units were sold in girls' sizes 4/5, 6/6X, 7/8, and 10/12.
No injuries have been reported in connection with the recalled clothing sets. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued the recall notice on December 6, 2007.
