ATLANTA, Ga. — The furniture trade magazine Furniture Today reported that the children’s clothing and accessory manufacturer London Bridge must recall 7,500 sock and wrist sets. The rattles affixed to the wristbands and socks respectively may fall off. The ornamental rattles are small enough for a child to place in his or her mouth and cause a choking hazard if the item falls off of the clothing. London Bridge announced its recall campaign in conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. London Bridge reported the Consumer Product Safety Commission that one rattle fell off a child’s attire. That incident prompted the recall campaign initiated by London Bridge. No child was hurt in that incident. The Commission Product Safety Commission agrees that a loose rattle could get caught and choke a child.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission instructed parents or caretakers of children who own London Bridge’s wristband and sock combination to stop using the garments immediately. The Commission also instructed consumers to return the items to the point of purchase or to contact London Bridge to obtain a full refund of the purchase price.
The recalled garments include a set of baby socks and a wristband. The socks and wristband match and are intended to be worn as a set. The wristband has a small rattle sewn into it. Additionally, London Bridge sewn in small rattles in the toes of the socks. The rattles are tiny and could be easily missed by an adult if one worked its way out of the socks or wristband.
The recalled sock and wristband set are for both boys and girls. The socks and wristbands are sold in varieties such as strawberry, ladybugs, animals, and athletic themes. London Bridge manufactured the items in China and sold them at stores across the U.S. for approximately $7.00 from January to May of 2019.
