Hi Everyone,
Unfortunately, the Lemur Group Inc. & Costco is voluntarily recalling all Pekkle infant sleepers purchased between April 29, 2016 and April 14, 2017. After April 14, 2017, Costco pulled the sleepers off the shelves.
Costco Wholesale records indicate you may have purchased one or more of the Pekkle infant sleepers (Costco items 321123 and 741147) between April 29, 2016 and April 14, 2017. The sleepers are manufactured by Lemur. Lemur Group Inc. is voluntarily recalling all Pekkle infant sleepers purchased between April 29, 2016 and April 14, 2017. The metal snaps on the recalled Pekkle sleepers may detach or fall off, resulting in a choking or laceration hazard for children. Lemur Group Inc. has received reports involving the metal snaps, with one report of a laceration injury to an infant. No choking injuries have been reported. If you believe you have one of the impacted Pekkle infant sleepers in your possession, immediately stop using the sleeper and return the affected product to your nearest Costco Wholesale location for a full refund.
For more information, please contact:

I’m not sure about you, but if this recall affects all sleepers, I will be returning these for a refund. Fortunately, YOU DO NOT NEED A RECEIPT to get a refund as all your purchases are attached to your membership ID. If you have received this item as a gift, I have received reports that several people have returned their sleepers for a refund even if they do not have a membership. Also, THERE IS NO LIMITED TIME FRAME on when a recalled item can be returned for a refund. The Costco purchase terms state: “Costco guarantees your satisfaction with the merchandise you purchase from us.” You can check for the Costco Item Number which is located on the tag on the leg of the sleeper.
I do appreciate that Costco is looking after the safety of our little ones. As much as I try to watch out for her, she can sure get into a lot of mischief after she is put down to sleep and after she wakes up.
The Pekkle website states: “Pekkle takes this situation very seriously and is grateful for Costco Canada’s swift and decisive action in halting the sale of the affected garment while Pekkle opened an investigation with Health Canada, supported by international laboratories. An investigation to determine the causes of this defect and to immediately find solutions that will ensure that such a situation never reoccurs is ongoing. The quality of its products and the safety of Costco Members has always been and remains the company’s top priority. All of Pekkle’s team is actively and closely working with Costco Canada, its suppliers as well as Health Canada regarding this matter.”
Our baby has worn these sleepers more than half of her life and I hope the deficiency is fixed quickly.

I’m middle moving so mine is packed at storage.
I bought so many of these
Do I have to bring item to costco?
Or they gonna refund without items
The point of the recall is to collect these potentially hazardous sleepers and get them off of little ones. Lemur is trying to minimize risk of reoccurrence …not simply refunding as an means of apologizing. They won’t refund without a physical return.
I for one hope that the pekkle sleepers come back….I’ve always loved them and never had an issue with them. I was super disappointed when Costco wasn’t selling them when I shopped there last.
I will be returning mine I don’t like the idea of not knowing if it will or won’t let go. I do like the sleepers but not taking a risk with my son. I will only be buying two pieces from this point forward.
I have these but purchased march 20. Should I return?
Gina…the recall is for sleepers between april 2016 and april 2017…if you purchased yours in march of 2017 then they are on the recall list.
My other concern is the bottom of the feet rubber grippers are peeling off already and baby likes to chew on her toes. Another reason to return for me…
I will be keeping mine. This is completely a case of making a mountain of a molehill.
Has there been more than one report incident yet? Unless I hear of more incidents I likely won’t return any
I received many as gifts. I wonder how this will be handled
I was just about to ask the same thing
I have received quite a few children’s outfits from Costco as gifts. Generally, they accept the item back and just issue a store credit rather than a refund.
