Le-Roi infant socks
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Princeton Hosiery Mills, through its Le-Roi division, issued a warning in April 1988 regarding infant socks sold under the Le-Roi and Mother Care labels. The socks presented a potential choking or aspiration hazard because plastic ornaments—either small teddy bears attached to the ankle or a pearl bead on a satin bow at the cuff—could detach from the socks. The teddy bear style socks were not shipped after October 1986, and the pearl bead socks were not shipped after April 1987. Neither the company nor the Consumer Product Safety Commission was aware of any injuries related to these socks.
According to the recall notice, consumers who purchased these socks for children under three years old should immediately remove the plastic ornaments (teddy bears and/or pearl beads) from the socks and discard them. The affected sock styles are identified as style numbers 1928 and 2213 (teddy bear version) or 2188 and 2120 (pearl bead version). The record does not specify any other remedy or remedy for consumers.
