What happened

Bucky Products Inc. is recalling over 3,800 Baby Bucky infant pillows due to a suffocation hazard. The C-shaped pillows were designed for use in car seats and strollers to prevent infants' heads from rolling side to side. The pillows are 10 inches long by 9.5 inches wide, filled with buckwheat hulls, covered in blue, pink, or jade-colored fabric, and have hang tags reading "baby BUCKY." They were sold nationwide in travel, variety, drug, and department stores from December 1993 to June 1995 for $22 each. Infant pillows and cushions have been banned under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act because they pose a potential suffocation hazard to infants. No injuries have been reported.

Consumers who purchased these pillows should take them away from children immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund. Alternatively, consumers can mail the pillows to P.O. Box 31970, Seattle, Washington 98103 for a full refund plus mailing costs.
