Spiegel Catalog recalls 4,200 baby garments due to choking hazard
|
NEW YORK (CNNfn) - Spiegel Inc.'s Spiegel Catalog Inc. recalled some 4,200 baby garments Thursday because metal snaps on the clothes can come off and pose a choking hazard to young children, the company said.
The Downers Grove, Ill.-based Spiegel (SPGLA) said no injuries had been reported.
The company, acting in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, said five customers have returned the items because the snaps came off.
The garments are made with navy-colored, stretch knit velvet material. The items are:
- Baby overalls with long sleeves and snaps at shoulder, legs and crotch; item number 82-5604. Sold for about $20.
- Baby cardigan with snap front; item number 82-5609. Sold for about $15
- Long sleeve baby tee with snaps at shoulder; item number 82-5610; sold for about $13.
The garments' collar tags read "elements baby … exclusively spiegel." Spiegel Ultimate Outlet stores, Spiegel Ultimate Outlet catalogs and elements exclusively Spiegel catalogs sold these garments from November 1998 through February 1999.
The company said consumers should stop using these recalled baby clothes immediately and return them to a Spiegel Ultimate Outlet store for a refund.
