CPSC, Kid Cool LLC Announce Recall of Girl's Infant/Toddler Garments
Sold Exclusively at Sears
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Kid Cool LLC, of New York, N.Y., is voluntarily
recalling about 5,100 Baby Cool and Kid Cool girls' jackets and vests.
The zipper pull and metal ring on these garments can detach, posing a
choking hazard to young children.
Kid Cool LLC has received one report of a child who removed the
zipper pull, placed it in her mouth and began to choke on the metal ring
that attaches the zipper pull to the jacket.
The recalled garments are 100-percent polyester girls' fleece-
hooded jackets and sleeveless vests. The garments are pink or violet in
color and were sold in both infant sizes 9-24 months and toddler sizes
2T-4T. The garments have a zipper front with a rubber zipper pull
attached by a metal ring. Two pockets on the front of the garment have
flowers on them. A label sewn on the inside neck of the garments reads
"Baby Cool (c)," "Kid Cool Collections," and "Made in Hong Kong."
Sears department stores nationwide exclusively sold these garments
from September 2001 through October 2001 for between $16 and $19.
Consumers should immediately remove the zipper pull and the metal
ring from these garments and dispose of them. Consumers can return the
garments to any Sears retail store to receive a replacement garment. For
additional information, contact Kid Cool LLC at (800) 315-2376 Ext. 183
between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET Monda y through Friday. Consumers also can
visit the Sears web site at www.sears.com.
