The pillows' hang tags read in part, "baby BUCKY ... Seattle U.S.A. ... Pillows." Travel, variety, drug, and department retail stores sold the pillows nationwide from December 1993 to June 1995 for $22 each.Consumers should take the pillows away from children immediately and return the pillows to the store where purchased for a full refund.
