This week’s recalls include some infant sleeping clothes, youth bed toy chests, some children’s jewelry, and a remote controlled toy vehicle.



1. Rashti & Rashti has issued a recall of its Taggies Sleep’n Play Infant Garments. The garments are onesies with snaps down the front, and are being recalled because of the potential for the snaps to detach, causing a choking hazard.

The clothes were sold in sizes 0-3 months, 3-6 months, and 6-9 months. Each one has “RN #27829” printed on the care label. These garments were sold at Buy Buy Baby, Dillard’s, Nordstrom, and other stores from June 2007 to May 2008, and cost about $20.

2. Bayside Furnishings has issued a recall of their LaJolla Boat Bed and Pirates of the Caribbean Twin Trundle Beds. This recall is in response to the death of a 22-month-old boy. The lid that covers the toy chest part of the bed has no mechanism to prevent or slow the lid closing, posing a hazard for children to be trapped and/or injured.

The beds were sold at Costco and other furniture stores from January 2006 through May 2008, for $700 to $1,400.
