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.

I wondered who'd catch that.

[Senator Pardek]

Yeah, but I never wished I was an Oscar Meyer weiner.

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.

[eddie willers]

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

Issue a brief statement?

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

It's a tradition that started with the infamous "Pool-Poopy" thread.

[Bella_Bru]

Excuse me, but are judges needed in this contest? I am an expert in this area and....

Wait...I think I just heard the posting police coming!

[Bella_Bru]

Bad....bad

Really?

Now That IS ..... Disturbing!!!

[Hoosier Patriot]

I think you've just come up with a new marketing slogan for them as well.

DANG IT! NOW WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR TO BED TONIGHT?

[riley1992]

You're a little too interested in his tongue talent, Senator.

ROTFL. Ouch.

[Senator Pardek]

And it's a good way to let off steam, in light of what we've been through.

For all I know, I've been hit with anthrax or smallpox, and I'll be in a crowded hospital tomorrow.

but then you are making a piglet of yourself.

[Swan]

If my Pooh undies have Tigger stripes, will I still receive my full refund?

[Bella_Bru]

I know. I am trying to keep the calories down. But I burn 'em off later. ;-) Happy Friday to you!

[Bella_Bru]

Ewwww.....Ewwww.....Ewwww....

Well, at least we know you haven't infected more than SEVEN people! ;)
