CPSC, Kohl's Department Stores Inc. Announce Recall of Chi ldren's Fleece Pant Sets
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Kohl's Department Stores Inc., of Menomonee Falls,
Wis., is voluntarily recalling about 9,600 children's fleece, two-piece
pant sets. Small pieces of fabric at the end of the sleeves, along the
hem and on the pockets of the tops can be torn off easily, posing a
choking hazard.
Kohl's Department Stores Inc. has received two reports of young children
putting torn pieces of fabric in their mouths. One child reportedly
began to choke on a piece of material.
The recall includes the First Moments- or Second Step-brand two-piece
pants set. The brand name is written on a label inside the tops of the
set. The set's pink fleece top has two patch pockets and the cotton
pants have a pink floral print. The set came in sizes 3 months to 24
months. The set has a cut-out floral pattern in the fabric at the end of
the sleeves, along the hem of the top and along the top of each pocket.
The part of the fabric subject to the cutting has been weakened and
tears easily from the rest of the garment.
Kohl's Department Stores sold the pant set nationwide from September
2002 through early November 2002 for about $18.
Consumers should stop using the set immediately and return it to the
store where purchased for a refund. For more information, call Kohl's
toll-free at (800) 694-2647 between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. CT Monday
through Friday or visit the firm's web site at www.Kohls.com.
