What's being recalled

BreathableSack wearable blanket for infants

Units: About 15,000

The BreathableBaby BreathableSacks are sleeveless, wearable blankets. They come in two sizes: small (10-18 pounds) and medium (16-24 pounds) and come in three colors: kiwi Whoo, pink Hip, and blue Splash. There is one animal stitched on the left chest of each blanket of an owl, hippo or elephant. Only BreathableSacks from Lot No. 124 with a manufacture date of 04/17/2012 are included in the recall. A tag sewn inside the recalled units where the infant's right foot would be located states the "Date of Manufacture: 04/17/2012, Lot No. 124," along with the washing instructions on the back of the tag.

The problem, in CPSC's words

The zipper pull tabs and sliders can detach posing a choking hazard to infants.
