What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a choking hazard for children under three, which is a high-risk product category. The source explicitly states that no injuries have been reported, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'
Plain-English summary
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in cooperation with the New York Attorney General and Elkay Industries Inc., issued a warning regarding a two-piece garment for children under three years of age. The garment consists of a long-sleeved knitted white shirt with red and blue stripes and the words "Little Pro" on the front, sold with long corduroy pants. The shirt features decorative yellow plastic buttons shaped like five-point stars attached to the front.
The warning was issued because CPSC testing revealed that the small plastic stars could separate from the shirt, creating a choking hazard for young children. Neither the CPSC, the New York Attorney General, nor Elkay Industries is aware of any injuries involving these garments. Approximately 9,200 units were sold nationwide from June 1986 to the date of the warning.
Consumers who purchased these garments for children under three should immediately remove the stars from the shirt and discard them to eliminate the potential choking hazard. Retailers with "Little Pro" garments in stock were instructed to stop selling them immediately. Consumers can contact Elkay Industries for additional information.
