L.L. Bean Recalls Toddler Fleeces
L.L. Bean, in conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), has recalled toddler sweater fleece pullovers. The snaps on the fleece pullovers can detach, posing a choking hazard to children, officials said. No incidents or injuries were reported and no ASI-listed firms were named in the recall notice.
The L.L. Bean toddler sweater fleece pullovers – made in Jordan and imported by L.L. Bean, of Freeport, ME – have blue trim, four snaps, two pockets and the L.L. Bean logo tag on the front. The pullovers were sold in sizes 2T, 3T and 4T, and in three colors: deep garnet (red), heather gray and light lilac. Item number 300206 and lot 02/17 are printed on woven tags in attached to the neckline of the pullovers.
Approximately 2,000 units were sold in L.L. Bean stores nationwide, the L.L. Bean catalog and online at www.llbean.com from April 2017 through August 2017 for about $50. The CPSC is asking that consumers stop using the pullover immediately and contact L.L. Bean for a full refund. L.L. Bean is contacting its customers directly.
Consumers can contact L.L. Bean at (800) 555-9717 from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. ET daily or online at www.llbean.com and click on “Recall & Safety Info” at the bottom of the page for more information.
