The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced the recall of about 74,000 Lil' Snugglers Children's Blankets due to some faulty sewing. The satin edge on the blanket can come loose and pose a strangulation hazard to young children. The manufacturer has received 18 reports of this happening with no injuries reported.
These blankets were made in China for Douglas Co., of Keene N.H. and sold at specialty stores nationwide and on the Web from April 2005 through December 2007 for about $12.
The blankets are 14 inches square with an animal head sewn in the middle and a one inch satin border around the edge. They were sold in 10 different styles, which are labeled with the following style numbers:
The style numbers as well as the P.O. number can be found on a white tab sewn into the blankets behind the Douglas red label. Only blankets with a P.O. number of 1330 or below are included in this recall. Photos of all the recalled blanket styles can be found here.
If you have one of these blankets, you are advised to immediately take it away from your child and return it to Douglas for a free replacement blanket or credit toward another item of equal value. You can reach Douglas Co. by calling toll-free (800) 992-9002 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, by visiting their Web site, or by emailing them at linda@douglastoys.com.
