    Made Nov 1, 2012, sent to the company Nov 16, 2012, published by CPSC Dec 3, 2012

    The product, in the report: Halloween Costume for an Infant

    I purchased a Star Wars, Darth Vader, Costume, size 6-12months. The costume is a a Rubies costume #881205, distributed by Wal-Mart. The PO/Lot#201137 FTY #990. Product Date July 2012, Made in Bangladesh.

    The costume contains a bodysuit with cape, pair of pants, headpiece, and booties.

    I dressed my baby who is 9 months old in this costume tonight and took him to an event, when I brought him home and removed his costume, I saw that a loose thread from inside one of the booties had wrapped tightly around the second toe of his right foot. We left the House at 5:45 and returned home at 8:45. By the time I got the clear thread off his toe it was swollen and purple and had a deep cut into his toe. We had to rush him to the ER because it did not regain color for several hours and we thought he would lose the toe. Thankfully because I had gotten all the thread in time he did not lose the toe but we are still monitoring him for infection in the cut because it is so deep.
