Target and the US Consumer Protection Safety Commission have issued a recall on 2 piece pajama sets sold in the children's department after the sets failed to met federal safety standards. 


If you have purchased PJs at Target here are the details and steps to receive a full refund: 

Name of Product: Children's two-piece pajama sets

Units: About 560,000

Importer: Target Corp., of Minneapolis, Minn.

Manufacturer: Makalot Garments Co. Ltd., of Taiwan

Hazard: The children's cotton or cotton/fleece pajamas sets fail to meet the federal flammability standards for children's sleepwear, because they do not meet the tight-fitting sizing requirements. This poses a burn hazard to children.

Incidents/Injuries: None reported

Description: This recall involves Target Circo and Xhilaration children's cotton or cotton/fleece two-piece pajama sets. They were sold in infant and toddler sizes 12M, 2T, 3T, 4T and 5T, and in girls and boys sizes XS, S, M, L and XL. There are a variety of colors and designs, including stars, dots, skulls, peace signs, cats, owls, footballs and camouflage. To see a complete list of item numbers included in this recall, visit the firm's website. The item number is located on a tag on the shirt's side seam and on the pants at the waist. A tag printed on the neck of the pajamas states "Circo" or "Xhilaration", "Wear snug-fitting not flame resistant" and the item number. The pajamas were also sold with a yellow hangtag that states, "For child's safety, garment should fit snugly. This garment is not flame resistant. Loose-fitting garment is more likely to catch fire."

Sold exclusively at: Target stores nationwide and online at target.com from August 2012 through November 2012 for between $8 and $13.

Manufactured in: Vietnam and Cambodia

Remedy: Consumers should immediately take the recalled pajamas away from children and return them to any Target for a full refund.

Consumer Contact: Target; at (800) 440-0680, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or online at www.target.com and click on Product Recalls at the bottom of the page for more information.

If you are introducing more organic produced food items into your menu, then check out Aldi'snew Simply Natural line.  The certified USDA organic product line was introduced in September but has only recently appeared on Alabama Aldi shelves.  

I haven't tried the products yet for taste, but keep in mind Aldi's Double Guarantee when you purchase.
Some of the items I noticed at Trussville's Aldi:
Canned tomatoes $1.49
Cereals $1.99 (this is 49 cents more than the regular version of cereals)
Chips $1.99
Other products you may spot in your store: 
Apple juice
Coffee
Pasta sauce
For the most part, price points are only 50 cents more than the non-organic counterparts in the store.
