What happened

The Schwab Company is recalling approximately 5,000 infant garments (style number 3941) due to wooden buttons that can detach and present a choking and inhaling hazard to infants. The buttons, which measure 0.75 inches in diameter and resemble baseballs, are attached to the garment with metal staple-like hooks. The one-piece baby garment is white cotton jersey with thin blue stripes, a red number 24 stitched on the front left side, and three round wooden buttons on the front. The label reads "Little Me...100% Cotton...Made in USA..." The garments retailed for approximately $27 and were sold with a matching blue and white baseball hat through department stores and children's specialty shops nationwide during spring 1992. The Schwab Company voluntarily notified stores of the possible defect in 1992, and while one incident of button and staple detachment has been reported, no injuries have been documented.

Consumers should stop using the recalled garments immediately. According to the record, consumers can send the garments to The Schwab Company, P.O. Box 1742, Upper Potomac Industrial Park, Cumberland, Maryland 21501, for a full refund including shipping costs. For more information, consumers should call The Schwab Company at (301) 729-4488.
