About 74,000 Lil' Snugglers children's blankets are being recalled. The blanket's satin edge can come loose, posing a strangulation hazard.
The firm has 18 reports of the satin separating from the blanket. No injuries have been reported.
The recalled children's blankets are 14 inches square with an animal head sewn in the middle. The satin border around the outside edge is about one inch wide. The blankets were sold in the following styles:
