WASHINGTON, D.C.- L.L. Bean Inc., of Freeport, Maine, is voluntarily recalling about 2,000 pairs of fleece slippers. The drawcord around the ankle of these slippers can break and release the toggle used to tighten the drawcord. The toggle presents a choking hazard to young children.
L.L. Bean has received one report of a 12 month-old baby pulling the toggle off of his slipper. No injuries were reported.
The Snuggle-Up slippers are made of red, blue or aqua fleece fabric, and have a suede sole. The drawcord around the ankle has a barrel toggle to tighten the slipper to adjust the fit. An "LL Bean" fabric label is sewn below the drawcord on the rear of the slipper.
Consumers should take these slippers away from young children immediately, and return them to L.L. Bean for an exchange or refund. For information, call L.L. Bean at (800) 555-9717 anytime.
