Plain-English summary

Wear Me Apparel Corp. is recalling approximately 30,000 Little Miracles rompers for infant boys in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall is necessary because the paint on the rompers' cap snaps contains lead, which violates the ban on paint containing lead under the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Act. This presents a potential lead poisoning hazard to young children.

The affected rompers have style numbers 9448 or 449 on the reverse side of the care label and feature three orange or red snaps at the neckline. They are 100 percent cotton with short sleeves and a snap crotch, available in sizes ranging from 0-3 months to 18 months. The garments were sold at Kmart stores nationwide beginning in October 1996 for $4.44. Rompers with white, cream, pink, yellow, or blue snaps are not involved in this recall.

Wear Me Apparel Corp. and CPSC are not aware of any injuries involving these garments. Consumers should return the affected rompers to any Kmart store for a full refund. For more information, consumers can contact Wear Me Apparel Corp. at (800) 223-0777.
