CPSC and JC Penney Recall 218,000 Children's Bodysuits

Retailer J.C. Penney and the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission today announced the recall of 228,000 bodysuits worn by newborns and infants. The government agency reported that an applique applied to the suit can be detached and become a choking hazard.

Three incidents have been reported of children choking on the applique, but no injuries have been attributed to the problem. The product was sold as the Okie Dokie® Striped Bodysuits with Puffy Appliqué between October 2004 and February 2005 for approximately $6.

Consumers are instructed to stop using the clothing and contact J.C. Penney toll-free at (888) 333-6063 for further instructions.
