Plain-English summary

Bucky Products Inc. is recalling over 3,800 Baby Bucky baby pillows in conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The C-shaped pillows, measuring 10 inches long by 9.5 inches wide, were intended for use in infant car seats and strollers to keep children's heads from rolling side to side. The pillows are covered in French blue, pink, or emerald jade Polartec fabric and filled with buckwheat hulls.

Infant pillows and cushions are banned under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act because they pose a potential suffocation hazard to infants. Bucky Products Inc. and CPSC are not aware of any injuries involving these pillows. The recall does not include the larger Adult Bucky Travel Pillows.

The pillows were sold nationwide from December 1993 to June 1995 for $22 each at travel, variety, drug, and department retail stores. Consumers should take the pillows away from children immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund. Alternatively, consumers can send the pillows to P.O. Box 31970, Seattle, Wash. 98103 for a full refund plus mailing costs. For more information, consumers can call Bucky Products Inc. at (800) 692-8259.
