Bobbie socks sold at Target recalled for choking hazard

Target is recalling about 330,000 pairs of Circo Rosette Bobbie Socks because ribbon on the socks can detach, creating a choking danger for young children, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Wednesday.
The company has learned of four related incidents. No injuries were reported.
The socks were sold in Target stores in the U.S. from January 2007 to July 2008 for about $6 US.
The socks were made in Hong Kong.
Caregivers should take the socks away from young children and return them to the store for a refund.
