Parents beware. A new recall has been issued for an estimated 1,500 DEMDACO infant bib and bootie sets after it was discovered that the “rattles sewn into the booties can detach, posing a choking hazard.” The recall itself was issued by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), and it specifically involves the “Story Time bib and bootie sets for infants ages 3-6 months.”
