01217 · Recalled 2001-08-16 · CPSC page
Description
The recalled pants are navy, khaki, or stone, with different color stitching around the pockets. The pants have an elastic waistband and an elastic draw-cord. A label on the rear inside seam reads "Koala Baby" or "Little Legends" and the care label reads in part "Made in Thailand." The pants were sold in both newborn and infant sizes.
Hazards
The toggle on the pockets of the pants can break off, posing a choking hazard to young children.
Reported injuries
Kids "R" Us has received one report of a 9-month old boy, who began to choke on a toggle that he removed from the pants. The toggle was dislodged.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately remove and discard the two toggles on the leg pockets. The pants then can be worn without the toggle.
