Plain-English summary

The recall involves the pink "I Love You" security blanket with a giraffe plush head, measuring about 14 inches wide by 14 inches in length. The blanket features "I Love You" embroidered on it, and the style number Y22230H and "Just One Year a division of Carter's" are sewn into a label. The products were manufactured in China.
