Plain-English summary
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Carter's are recalling about 218,000 one-piece, footed cotton infant garments. The recalled items feature a zipper running from the foot to the neck and were sold in sizes newborn, 3, 6, and 9 months. The recall involves eight specific styles from the Baby B'gosh, Child of Mine, and Just One You brands, which are identified by specific style numbers printed on side seam labels.
The recall was issued because the zipper pull on these garments can detach, creating a choking hazard for young children. The CPSC has not reported any injuries or illnesses associated with this defect. The garments were manufactured in China by The William Carter Company of Atlanta, Georgia.
The recalled clothing was sold nationwide at OshKosh B'gosh, Walmart, and Target from December 2012 through January 2013 for between $7 and $20. Baby B'gosh sleepwear was also sold online at www.oshkoshbgosh.com. Consumers should immediately take the recalled clothing away from infants and return it to Carter's for a full refund.
