A style of children’s jacket sold exclusively at Dillard’s has been recalled by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Philadelphia-based company Supreme Trading Limited. This jacket (style number F14CL112L) is part of the Class Club brand line and was manufactured in Vietnam. The jacket can be recognized by its letterman style. It is 100% polyester, navy with white sleeves, and was sold in sizes 2 and 3.
320 units are affected by this safety recall. At issue is the fact that the snaps on the jacket are in danger of detaching from the product. If this occurs, the relatively small size of the components could pose a choking hazard to the children wearing the items. Thankfully, there have yet to be any incidents of this nature reported to the company.
The items, in addition to being sold in Dillard’s stores, were also available at that retailer’s website. Consumers were able to purchase these jackets for around $25 between September and November of last year. Parents and guardians are being advised to take the jackets out of the reach of children immediately. They can then return the item to any Dillard’s location for a refund for the full cost of the jacket. Anyone with additional queries is being instructed to get in touch with Supreme Trading Limited.
A potential choking hazard has prompted the recall of approximately 600 boy’s hooded flannel shirts. This voluntary recall has been issued by La Jolla Sport USA Incorporated, a clothing manufacturer headquartered in Irvine, California, at the request of the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission because the drawstring attached to these shirts can pose a strangulation risk to the children the product is designed to fit. O’Neill Pluto brand boy’s long sleeve flannel shirts, equipped with a hood, two chest pockets and a button down shirtfront, manufactured in India and distributed for sale at surfing and sporting goods stores across the United States between September and December of 2011, are equipped with a drawstring that does not comply with federal safety guidelines regulating the specifications for drawstrings attached to children’s upper outerwear. Shirts affected by this recall were available for purchase at surfing specialty stores such as Hansens Surfboards, East Coast Surf Products, Jacks Surf and Sport, Huntington Surf & Sport, Main Beach Surf & Sport, Valley Skate N Surf, Sports Chalet, O’Neill, Riders Outlet for approximately $60, and they were available in sizes ranging from children’s small to children’s extra large. These shirts are dark gray in color with horizontal black stripes, and a label bearing the style name “Pluto Flannel” and style number 41204106 can be found stitched to the interior inseam on the shirt’s left hand side.
Another item is being recalled because of the hazard it poses to children.
The product in question is known as the Whoozit Starry Time Rattle, and it was imported from China by the Minneapolis-based Manhattan Group LLC. These items pose a danger because the ends contain clear spheres that have a propensity to break off from the rattle. Unfortunately, these spheres also contain tiny parts that a small child could choke on. 3,150 were distributed throughout North America, with all but 150 shipping to the United States.
The firm has received two reports of the rattle breaking, but thankfully those incidents did not result in an injury. Concerned consumers can find the name of the product on the rattle’s hang tag. They were sold at a variety of children’s product stores through the United States and Canada, where they retailed for around $15. They were also sold at manhattantoy.com. Affected rattles were available for purchase between September and March.
Concerned guardians are being advised to remove the rattle from a child’s presence as soon as possible. The item can be taken back to where it was bought from by consumers in order to get a complete refund.
Recalls are always disappointing to a Los Angeles personal injury lawyer like me, but those that involve children’s products are particularly alarming. Parents rely on the fact that what they give their children is going to be safe, as these youngsters aren’t able to look out for themselves the way an adult can. I hope as a personal injury attorney in San Francisco that these items all get returned before a child gets hurt.
Another children’s product to add to an ever-growing list of defective products shipped from China.
This particular recall concerns Carson-based importer Lakeshore Learning Materials’s Feels Real Baby Dolls. Around 4,300 dolls are affected by the announcement throughout North America, with a majority of the units residing in the United States.
The issue has to do with the dolls’ finger and toe appendages, which can detach from the dolls. This would entail a choking hazard for the children playing with the item. Thankfully there have been no injuries reported in conjunction with this recall.
The dolls in question are 14 inches high and come in a variety of ethnicities. They wear diapers that contain a label that says “Lakeshore” and “550200.” They were available through Lakeshore’s catalogues and website. Retailing for about $20, the items were sold between May 2011 and January of this year.
Consumers have been advised to take the dolls out of children’s reach and contact the company in order to obtain a replacement item.
As a personal injury lawyer in Fresno, I find all recalls to be disappointing, but I’m particularly disheartened when it comes to recalled children’s products. Kids aren’t expected to worry about safety hazards the way an adult might, and I would hope that manufacturers take particular care to make sure that products for children are safe. Alas, situations like this seem far too common to this Ventura personal injury lawyer.
Children rely on their parents to keep them safe, and in turn, parents rely on companies to make products that don’t pose a threat to their babies.
WeePlay Kids has announced a recall involving Carter’s Watch the Wear bodysuits and Sleep ‘n Play one-pieces. The items, which come in multiple colors, were sold at various stores across the country between November 2010 and August 2011. They retailed for between $4 and $9.
The problem with the item concerns tiny snaps that are used to close up the clothing. These snaps can detach from the bodysuits and one-pieces, creating a choking hazard to the young children for whom the clothes are designed for.
Thankfully, no injuries have occurred in conjunction with this product, but the company has received word of more than 30 incidents in which the snaps have fallen off of the item. People who purchased the product are asked to cease putting them on their children and return the clothing for a free replacement.
As a personal injury attorney in Ventura, I hate to see defective products of any kind, but a recall on children’s products is particularly frightening. Children should be safe in the knowledge that their parents are looking out for them, and in turn, parents should know that a Los Angeles personal injury attorney is watching their backs and bringing them the latest safety news.
According to recent news, there was a recall issued for over 400,000 strollers manufactured by the B.O.B. Trailers Inc. due to possible chocking hazards. The company has stated that there were reports of children mouthing a patch that detached unexpectedly. Two of the reports stated that children gagged and even choked on it. In all of the six cases related to this product, the children were all seating in an infant car seat attached to the malfunctioning stroller.
The company has requested all consumers to contact them. The recall involved all strollers produced by B.O.B. between November 1998 and November 2010.

The brands Ironman®, BOB® and Stroller Strides® can be seen embroidered somewhere on the canopy of the recalled baby strollers.
As a Los Angeles personal injury lawyer I hope that being taken around this defected stroller will injure no more children. Hopefully, the recall will be one hundred per cent positive and all parents will be able to carry their children around utilizing a safer gadget. Personal injury lawyers are aware that such cases can have many ramifications if not taken care of in a timely manner, so if you ever have any problem with a defect product don’t hesitate to contact a product liability attorney to assist you with your case.
