Cottontail Originals Recalls Infant Garments Due to Choking Hazard

Plain-English summary

Cottontail Originals Inc. of Stillwater, Oklahoma, is voluntarily recalling 840 infant and toddler garments in coordination with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The affected items are Style GE123, a boy's blue and white plaid one-piece romper, and Style GE420, a girl's blue and white plaid dress. Both styles feature three round wooden buttons on the front that measure 0.75 inches in diameter and are attached to the garment with shanks similar to metal staples.

The wooden buttons and metal staple-like hooks can detach from the garment, presenting a choking and inhaling hazard to infants and young children. CPSC is aware of one incident where a wooden button and metal staple detached from a garment, but neither CPSC nor the manufacturer is aware of any injuries involving the components.

The garments were distributed through independent retailers nationwide and sold during the summer of 1994 for approximately $52.00 to $60.00. Consumers should stop using the recalled garments immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund. Alternatively, consumers can send the garments to Cottontail Originals Inc. at 3623 N. Park Drive, Stillwater, OK 74075, for a full refund including shipping costs.
