Plain-English summary

Weeplay Kids LLC is recalling infant ED by Ellen DeGeneres coveralls with hats. The recalled items are pink striped, two-piece, long-sleeve coveralls made of 100% cotton. They feature a kangaroo pocket, a bunny-shaped applique on the left chest, and a hat with a pompom. The coveralls were sold in infant sizes 3M, 6M, 9M, 12M, 18M, and 24M. Style numbers ED01210 and ED13210 are printed on the inside garment tag, which also displays a manufacture date code of August 2017 (08/2017).

The recall is due to a choking hazard. The bunny applique on the coveralls can detach, posing a risk to young children. The company has received one report from Canada where the applique detached and a young child put it in their mouth. A grandparent removed the item before it caused choking. No incidents or injuries have been reported in the United States.

About 2,500 units were sold in the United States, and about 130 were sold in Canada. The coveralls were sold at Buy Buy Baby and Marshalls stores nationwide and online at www.buybuybaby.com from September 2017 through January 2018 for about $16. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled coveralls and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. For more information, consumers can contact Weeplay Kids toll-free at 888-854-6563 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit www.weeplaykids.com and click on Recall Info.
