This recall involves the 'Ruff Hewn' reversible vests for boys sold in toddler (style # F821235) and 4 through 7 sizes (style # F841235). The vests are brown and reverse to a camouflage print. 'Ruff Hewn' is printed on the tag found in the left pocket of the brown side and on the price tag. The style number is printed on the price tag.
The vests were sold at Bon-Ton, Bergner's, Boston Store, Elder-Beerman, Herberger's, Younkers, and Carson Pirie Scott stores nationwide and Parisian in the Detroit area from July 2008 through November 2008 for about $30. They were made in India.
Consumers should immediately take these vests away from children and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund.
