NEW YORK (CNNfn) - The Children's Place, of Secaucus, N.J., is recalling about 120,000 boys baseball shirts and rompers. The buttons can come off, posing a small parts choking hazard to young children.
The Children's Place has received three reports of buttons detaching. No injuries have been reported.
The recalled baseball shirts are gray, blue, white or red with contrasting colors at the trim. They were available in boys' sizes 3 to 36 months. The shirts have four baseball-shaped buttons down the front. A tag at the neck reads in part, "The Children's Place, Made in Turkey." On the left front of the shirt there is an embroidered baseball surrounded by the words, "Baseball Place USA." "Place" and the number "9" are embroidered on the back of the shirt.
The Children's Place stores nationwide sold the shirts and rompers from January through July 2000. The shirts cost about $12 and the rompers about $14.
Consumers should stop using these clothes immediately and return them to the nearest The Children's Place store for a full refund and a 10 percent discount coupon. For more information, call The Children's Place at (800) 839-3144 24 hours a day/seven days a week.
