Plain-English summary

Shopko Stores Inc. is recalling approximately 68,000 Peek-A-Babe newborn and infant "creepers" in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recalled garments are short-sleeved body suits made of 100 percent cotton, featuring two snaps at the left shoulder and three snaps at the crotch. The hazard is that the snaps can detach, which poses a choking hazard to children.

These creepers were sold in sizes "0-3M" to 24M. Boys' creepers were made in solid and striped knit fabrics, while girls' creepers were made in various pastel shades of pointelle knit fabric with a satin bow and embroidered figure. The garments were sold in Shopko stores nationwide from December 1998 to June 1999 for $4 to $6. The collar labels include the text "MADE IN HONG KONG."

CPSC and Shopko Stores are not aware of any reports of injuries from these creepers; the recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury. Consumers should immediately stop using these garments and return them to Shopko for a refund. For more information, consumers can call Shopko at (800) 791-7333 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday CDT.
