WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Sara Lee Underwear is recalling Winnie the Pooh infant underwear because decorative decals can break apart, possibly causing children to choke, company officials announced Friday.

The company has not received any reports of injury, but is recalling the underwear as a precaution.

The company has notified the Consumer Product Safety Commission of the recall.

The underwear is white and has decals of Winnie the Pooh, Tigger and Piglet over the script "Pooh and friends." The line, on the market since April 2001, was sold at Wal-Mart, Gabriel Brothers and other stores.

Retailers have been asked to remove the underwear from their shelves.

Customers who return the underwear will receive a full refund.

For my nearly year as a FReeper, I don't think I have seen one Friday night go by where someone hasn't posted either an underwear or poo story.

And now it wouldn't be FR or Friday without, now would it?

[Leroy S. Mort]

I hope for your sake you have a talented tongue.

I, of course, have the perfect comeback...but this thread is way too good to be pulled.. ;-)

Winnie the pooh underwear RECALLED??? Eyeore's probably loving this! But hold on, we have no proof this story is true, let's not panic just yet... try to remain calm....

My sister's kid was complaining about this. The decals don't break apart... It is caused by Christopher Rob'in them.

[AmishDude]

Oh, great. Where does it say we are supposed to go to return them?

Guess this means I have to do laundry tonight, all that's left are my Superman Underoos and they're in the hamper.

This thread brings out the best in FR, doesn't it? :-P

Little girl is in the doctor's office for her yearly check-up. The doctor takes his stethoscope and places it near the little girl's heart and says; "Well, let's see what we hear in there! Oh! Do I hear Mickey Mouse in there?"

The little girl giggles as she says; "noooo".

"Hmm" the doctor responds; "Must be Minnie Mouse then?"

Again, the little girl gigles as she replys; "Noooo"

Wrinkling his brow as he listens to the little girl's heartbeat again, he asks; "Well is must be Barney the dinosuar that I hear in there then?"

Finally, the little girl bursts out laughing as she exclaims; "No silly! That's Jesus in my heart! Barneys on my underpants!"

Well, it could be worse. It could be Winnie Mandella underwear.

[Bella_Bru]

Riley, dear sister in smut, I really think we need to set up an investigative panel to make sure that Mr. OPH's claims are indeed valid.

[Neets]

Oh Bother!!!!!! Ubi Sub Ubi...or not.

[retrokitten]

You are right, Sunny, that was disturbing.

And now it wouldn't be FR or Friday without, now would it?

No, I think I would think something was wrong if there wasn't a good poop story on Friday.

[NeoCaveman]

See, edible undies are expensive. I prefer to grab whatever is in the cupboard. Pudding, fruit-roll-ups, chocolate sauce, ice, etc.

Fruit roll-ups, so that's why they still make those....

[nmh]

I don't know of any little toddlers who chew on their underwear. What next?

[Thinkin' Gal]

I can only imagine what Barbara Boxer will do with this one.

It all Depends.

[WVNan]

NO! NO! NOT MY WINNIE THE POOH UNDERWEAR! I refuse to turn them in. So there.

[ST.LOUIE1]

I can't 'bear' to read about any more Pooh!

I is gone.

[eddie willers]

I once was a buyer of little girl's underware....
Pulled down 200 a week.
