HALO SleepSacks Wearable Blankets Recalled Due to Choking Hazard; Sold Exclusively at Babies R Us

What's being recalled

The recalled HALO SleepSack wearable blankets are 100% white cotton with pink-edged ruffles and a pink satin rose embellishment on the front. These sack-shaped wearable blankets have cut-outs for the baby's arms, a zipper down the center, a sewn bottom and were sold in small and medium sizes. Only SleepSack products with GPU numbers 2701, 2781, 2886, 2887, 3007, 3035 and 3142 printed on a neck label under the primary neck label are included in the recall.

The problem, in CPSC's words

Petals from the floral embellishment on the blankets can detach, posing a choking hazard to infants.

Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC

The firm has received six reports of the petals detaching from the blankets including one report of an infant found gagging on a detached petal.
