Carter's Recalls Children's Cardigan Sets Due to Choking Hazard

Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Carter's are recalling 3-piece penguin cardigan sets due to a choking hazard. The recalled sets consist of a white embroidered penguin bodysuit, a grey cardigan with a hood, and a matching pair of pants. The cardigan's toggle button can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children.

Carter's received three reports of children putting a detached toggle button in their mouths. No injuries have been reported. The sets were sold in sizes newborn to 24 months. Style number 127G596 is printed on the front of the care tag sewn on the inside of the cardigan, and the UPC number is printed on the back of the same care tag. The UPC numbers are 190795798203, 190795798166, 190795798173, 190795798180, 190795798135, 190795798142, and 190795798159.

About 107,200 sets were sold in the United States, and about 8,800 were sold in Canada. The products were sold at Carter's, Bon-Ton, Burlington Stores, Kohl's, Macy's, Ross Stores, Toys "R" Us, and other stores nationwide and online at www.carters.com from July 2017 through March 2018 for about $40. Consumers should immediately take the recalled cardigan sets away from children, stop using them, and return them to a Carter's store location for a full refund in the form of a gift card. Consumers can also contact Carter's Consumer Affairs department to request a free return label and envelope to return the cardigan for a refund in the form of an electronic gift card.
