The recall includes two separate garments sold as sets. One garment is a lavender-colored velour jumpsuit with a floral printed rib knit top. The other garment is a lavender-colored French terry and velour top with printed rib knit bottom. Only jumpsuits with style numbers 516-8240 and 516-8340 and top and bottom sets with style numbers 516-8241 and 516-8341 are included in the recall. Both garments have felt fabric flowers on the front bodice. The jumpsuit has one large purple flower and two teal colored leaves on the front. The top has one large purple flower and two small blue flowers on each side. A label sewn on the inside neck of the garments reads in part "Baby OshKosh B'Gosh®," and "Made in Malaysia." Both garments were sold in sizes 0-3, 3-6, and 6-9 months.
Hazard
The fabric, heat-sealed flowers on the front of the garments can detach after washing, posing a choking hazard to young children.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using these garments immediately and return them to OshKosh B'Gosh, for a refund.
Incidents and injuries
OshKosh B'Gosh has received one report of a 6-month-old child who began to choke on one of the detached flowers that had separated from the garment. It was removed from the child's throat without injury.
