After a complain was lodged on April 11, 2017 by a concerned parent who noticed their child had developed a scratch from one of Costco’s most popular baby clothing lines, the wholesale giant has made the decision to pull the product from the floor.
Earlier in April a parent noticed that their child had been scratched by one of Pekkle’s baby sleepers and as result of the injury an internal investigation into the matter is underway at the Montreal line’s parent company, Lemur.
A Lemur spokesperson said that they take the matter very seriously and that as soon as they learned about the problem with the clothing line they took all of the possibly affected product off the market.
Health Canada is currently weighing whether or not further action will be required after the internal investigation, but they are reportedly working very closely with Lemur and Costco to ensure a speedy and transparent recovery from the problem.
Meanwhile, on social media, Canadians seem to be having a mixed bag of reactions to the incident with Pekkle sleepwear:
What a poor decision on their (Costco’s) part.
Had no issues with any of the sleepers from Costco son wore them tons growing up. Zippers can scratch any child or adult on any clothing at any time. I love those sleepers they were great.
Love Pekkle sleepers and have never ever had an issue
I’ve been buying them for 2 years now since my son was born (6 items each 2-3 months) and have never ever had an issue. We love this line and it’s very reasonable prices. I had bought a few lately and I am NOT going to return them 🙁
