Toddler Pants Sets Recalled for Choking Hazard

US Consumer Product Safety Commission, Feb 12, 2007

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with G & W Industries Inc., of New York, N.Y., announced a voluntary recall of about 1,800 Toddler Pants Sets. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.

This recall involves “Little Lass” toddler pants sets sold with a velour jacket and pants, and a tee-shirt. The sets were sold in red and black, and have the words, “Snow Angel” printed on the front of the jacket. Sizes included in the recall are 2T, 3T and 4T.

No injuries have been reported. The zipper pull on the jacket can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children. G & W Industries has received one report of a zipper pull detaching into the hands of a toddler.

These pants sets were sold at Meijer Stores nationwide from October 2006 through December 2006 for about $20. They were manufactured in the Philippines.

Consumers should immediately return the recalled pants sets to the nearest Meijer Store for a full refund. For additional information, consumers can contact G & W Industries collect at (212) 736-4848 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
