Incident Overview

A concerning safety issue has been reported involving Disney’s Mickey Mouse toddler boy “The Fun Gang” footed pajamas, sold by Kohl’s. The pajamas, manufactured by Centric Brands Inc., contain foot pads with small beads that easily dislodge.

A one-year-old child reportedly had multiple beads enter both ear canals during the night, requiring emergency medical intervention by a specialist to remove them. There is also concern that some beads may have been inhaled, posing an additional choking hazard.

This alarming incident highlights serious product safety concerns for parents who have purchased these pajamas, as loose beads can create significant choking and injury risks for infants and toddlers.

Potential Dangers of Defective Toddler Pajamas

Children’s sleepwear should be designed with safety as the highest priority. The risks posed by defective footed pajamas include:

• Choking Hazard – Loose beads can easily be swallowed or inhaled, causing potential airway obstruction.
• Ear Canal Blockage and Injury – Small foreign objects in the ear can lead to infections, pain, and complications requiring medical intervention.
• Aspiration Risks – If beads are inhaled into the lungs, it can lead to respiratory distress or serious medical emergencies.
• Skin Irritation or Allergic Reactions – If the beads are made of harmful materials, they could cause skin irritation or allergic responses in sensitive children.

Parents should inspect their children’s sleepwear for any signs of loose or poorly secured components that could pose a risk.

Understanding Product Liability in Children’s Clothing Defects

Manufacturers and retailers have a legal duty to ensure their products are safe for consumer use, especially when it comes to children’s products. If a product poses an unforeseen hazard, affected consumers may have grounds for a product liability claim under one of the following categories:

Defective Design

If the design of the pajamas allows beads to easily detach, leading to a risk of injury, this could be considered a design defect.

Manufacturing Defect

If the beads were improperly secured during manufacturing, leading to product failure in some units, the manufacturer may be responsible for a manufacturing defect.

Failure to Warn

If the product lacked adequate warnings about the risk of bead detachment, the manufacturer or retailer could be held liable for failing to properly inform consumers about potential dangers.

If your child suffered an injury due to these defective pajamas, you may be entitled to compensation, including:

• Medical Expenses – Emergency room visits, doctor’s fees, and any necessary follow-up treatments.
• Pain and Suffering – Compensation for the distress and discomfort your child experienced.
• Long-Term Health Monitoring – If foreign objects were inhaled or caused lasting complications, ongoing medical care may be necessary.
