44,000 pink baby blankets RECALLED

A set of giraffe decorated baby blankets is being recalled by the US government this week, to make sure they do not pose a safety threat to young children who sleep with them.

The pink baby blankets, 44,000 of them, are being recalled from the marketplace because the 3-dimensional giraffe decorations potentially offer a choking hazard for kids. The baby blankets were made in China, and sold primarily in Target stores during the first 6-8 months of 2009.

The U.S. government on Tuesday announced a recall of 44,000 pink baby blankets, saying the giraffe decorations on the blankets pose a choking hazard. The Consumer Product Safety Commission said importer Rashti & Rashti is recalling the giraffe blankets, which were made in China and sold at Target stores between January and August of 2009. The agency said that pieces of the giraffe's horns can fall off. No injuries have been reported.
