The consumer protection department is warning people who have bought infant or toddler pajamas from the Vermont Teddy Bear Company’s “Pajamagram” store that one style of pajamas has been recalled because it poses a choking hazard.
The Vermont Teddy Bear Co. has voluntarily recalled about 800 “Hoodie-Footie” pajamas in the “Winter Whimsy” pattern because the metal snaps attaching the hood to the pajamas can come off, creating the choking hazard.
The recalled pajamas have a front zipper, detachable hood, and are in red fleece with a multi-colored design of penguins, snowmen and snowflakes. They were sold in infant sizes 0 to 18 months and toddler sizes 2T to 5T. The words “Hoodie Footie,” the size, and product code (GPU #SUNHFH1 or GPU # SUNHFH2) are printed on a neck label.
People who purchased these pajamas should take them away from children and contact the company to receive free replacement pajamas and a $25 gift card. More information, and photographs of the recalled pajamas, are available at at the Department of Consumer Protection's website.
