Knitted attachments to the hat, such as an octopus figure or decorative eyeballs on the Erwin Beanie cap can come loose, creating a choking hazard the CPSC said in a statement.
About 370 of the hats were sold in ski shops and sports stores from September 2008 through November 2008 for about $30.
The hats were imported from Nepal by Ambler Mountain Works of Canmore, Alberta, Canada.
Consumers were advised to return the hats to Ambler Mountain for a free replacement or to cut off the attachments and dispose of them.
Consumers can call 888-267-6968 for information.

Erwin & Poseidon Recall
Hello Everyone,
My name is Scott Semple. I’m the owner and General Manager of Ambler Mountain Works.
As the CPSC press release states, Ambler is voluntarily recalling the Erwin and Poseidon beanies due to insecurely attached parts. If either the eyeballs on the Erwin or the octopus legs on the Poseidon are insecurely attached — or if you are unsure — please remove them or return the product to us.
Additional information can also be found on the original recall post on our blog at:http://blog.amblermw.com/erwin-poseidon/.
For more information, please contact Ambler at [email protected]. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.
Regards,
Scott Semple
