CPSC, Catton Brothers Corp. Announce Recall of Disney Babies
Romper Sets for Boys and Girls
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Catton Brothers Corp. of
New York, N.Y., is recalling about 13,200 Disney Babies
romper sets for boys and girls. Some of the romper's crotch
snaps were improperly attached, exposing a sharp prong. The
exposed prong could cause injury to infants.
CPSC and Catton Brothers Corp. are not aware of any
injuries involving these rompers. This recall is being
conducted to prevent the possibility of injury.
The Disney Babies romper sets consist of a denim romper
with an embroidered Baby Minnie or Baby Mickey and a denim
hat with a Baby Minnie or Baby Mickey patch. They are
available for boys (style no. 1169) and girls (style no.
1168) in sizes 0 to 6 months and 6 to 9 months. The rompers
have two sewn-in labels. One label displays the Disney
Babies logo. The other label reads in part, "CATTON BROS.
CORP...Style #1168 or 1169...100% Cotton...Made in
Bangladesh." Wording on this label is written in English and
Spanish.
Department and discount stores nationwide sold the
romper sets from October 1996 through February 1997 for
about $10 to $14. The Disney Store did not sell the rompers.
Consumers should stop using the rompers immediately and
return them to the store where purchased for a full refund.
For more information about this recall, consumers should
call Catton Brothers Corp. at (800) 357-6343.
Disney Babies denim rompers that are made in the
Philippines are not involved in this recall.
