Announce Recall of Infant Garments WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Shopko Stores Inc. of Green Bay, Wis., is recalling approximately 68,000 Peek-A-Babe newborn and infant "creepers," a short- sleeved body suit with two snaps at the left shoulder and three snaps at the crotch. The snaps can detach, posing a choking hazard to children. CPSC and Shopko Stores are not aware of any reports of injuries from these creepers. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury. These 100 percent cotton creepers were sold in sizes "0-3M" to 24M. The boys' creepers were made in solid and striped knit fabrics. The girls' creepers were made in various pastel shades of pointelle knit fabric, with a satin bow attached to the neck and an embroidered figure, such as a butterfly or heart, below the bow. Writing on the collar labels includes, "MADE IN HONG KONG." Shopko stores nationwide sold these garments from December 1998 to June 1999 for $4 to $6. Consumers should immediately stop using these garments, and return them to Shopko for a refund.
