The article reports on the decision of Douglas Co. to recall about 74,000 Lil' Snugglers Children's Blankets because the blanket's satin edge can come loose, posing a strangulation hazard. The blankets were sold at specialty stores nationwide and on the Web from April 2005 through December 2007 for about $12. Consumers should take the blankets away from children immediately and return it to Douglas for a free replacement blanket or credit toward another item of equal value.
