Designer Classics LLC, of Keasbey, N.J., is
recalling about 11,000 of its children's jeans and overalls manufactured under
the BABY GUESS and GUESS GIRLS label. The small decorative metal appliques on
the legs of the garments can come loose and separate, posing a choking hazard
to young children. The company has received one report of a child mouthing a
metal piece that had separated from the garment.
The denim jeans and overalls were sold in sizes 6 months through 6X. They have
the following style numbers on the bottom of the care label: KL11450, KH11448,
JL21338, JH21408, and JH31288. "Made in Indonesia" and the size is on
the front of the care label. The BABY GUESS or GUESS GIRLS label is above the
care label. Department and specialty stores nationwide sold the garments from
October 2000 to December 2000 for between $36 and $42.
Consumers should stop using these garments immediately and call the company
for instructions on returning the garment for another garment of the same size.
Consumers should contact the company toll-free at (888) 626-4939 from 9 a.m. to
5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday. Garments should be sent to Designer Classics
LLC, Attention: Recall, 22351 Wilmington Ave., Carson, CA 90745. Consumers will
be reimbursed for standard postage. Designer Classics Contact: Jerry Armani (888)
