Health Canada has recalled My First Blankie children's sleep sacks because the snaps on the shoulder can come loose and pose a choking hazard.
There has been one report of the snaps coming loose.
About 74 of the items were sold by independent Kidcentral stores in September and October 2008.
The loose-fitting sacks have neck and arm openings and snaps located on the left shoulder.
Products with Velcro fasteners instead of snaps are not included in the recall.
