Categories: Newborns, Babies, Toddlers, Health & safety, Shopping & recalls
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced the recall of more than three hundred thousand sets of Circo Rosette Bobbie Socks sold exclusively by Target, of Minneapolis, Minnesota, due to a potential choking hazard. The socks were sold in packs of six for about six dollars from January 2007 through July 2008.The socks feature a ribbon which can detach and could be swallowed by a small child. Target has received four reports of the ribbons coming loose; thankfully, there have been no injuries. If you have any of these socks, take them away from your children and return them to the nearest Target for a full refund. For additional information, contact Target at (800) 440-0680 between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.target.com.

I bought these and some ribbons did come off, and I didn't even think to report it because stuff comes off like that all the time. Buttons come off my shirts, etc.
I wish Target would have a recall on all their flimsy t-shirts.....one washing and they spontaneously erupt little holes here and there.

That's very scary! I will have to make sure I didn't receive any of these as gifts.
