TORONTO -- Zellers is recalling a two-piece infant sleeper and booties set imported by parent company HBC over concerns of leaded paint on the buttons.The product was manufactured by Sumeet Exports of India and sold under the "Cherokee Baby(R)'' brand.
In a press release, HBC says it discovered through its quality assurance process that the buttons on the sleepers were different than the ones originally ordered.
It says it discovered that the paint on the replacement buttons contained lead. As a result, the company says it has removed the sleepers from stores and is advising customers of the potential hazard.
Customers who have purchased the sets are asked to stop using them immediately and return them to any Zellers store for a full refund. The company says there have been no reports of any injuries.
The two-piece sets were sold at Zellers stores across Canada from January 2008 at a price of $12.97. The sleeper and booties are striped and short sleeved, and come in pink, blue and green stripes. They were sold in sizes 0 to 3 months, 3 to 6 months and 6 to 12 months.
