Pottery Barn Kids Chamois Blankets

January 24, 2005
Pottery Barn Kids is recalling about 92,000 chamois blankets. The decorative stitching on the blanket’s edge can come loose, allowing a child to become entangled in the yarn. This poses a strangulation hazard to young children.

Pottery Barn Kids has received four reports of incidents involving the decorative stitching coming loose. No injuries have been reported.

This recall involves children’s chamois blankets made of 100% polyester. The blankets were sold in yellow, pink, blue and green, and the reverse side of all the blankets are white. Decorative yarn in a coordinating color is stitched around the blanket’s edge. The blanket measures 30-inches wide by 40-inches long and are labeled for stroller use. A label on the blanket reads “pottery barn kids” and “Made in Korea.”

The blankets were sold at Pottery Barn Kids’ stores nationwide, through the Pottery Barn catalog, and PotteryBarnKids.com from December 2002 through December 2004 for about $30.
