Adjmi Apparel Group Recalls Reebok Children’s Windsuits for Choking Hazard

June 22, 2006

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced a voluntary recall of Reebok Children's Wildsuits. Consumers should stop using the products immediately unless otherwise instructed. The Reebok logo appliqué on the clear rubber zipper pull on the jacket can detach, posing a choking or aspiration hazard to young children.

Reebok has received one report of a child that began to choke from a detached Reebok logo appliqué. No injuries have been reported.

The products are made by Adjmi Apparel Group, of New York, N.Y. (Adjmi is an authorized licensee of children’s apparel products of Reebok International Ltd., of Canton, Mass.). About 55,000 of the products were sold.

The recalled Reebok children’s windsuits are full-zip boys polyester jacket and pants sets with a cotton lining and the name “Reebok” and/or Reebok’s Vector logo embroidered on the chest of the jacket. The suits were sold in eight different color combinations: orange/navy, light blue/royal blue, red/navy, yellow/gunmetal, yellow/navy, blue/navy, green/navy and red/black.

About 55, 000 of the products were sold at Mervyns and Toys “R” Us/Babies “R” Us from December 2005 through May 2006. They were made in Bangladesh.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled product away from young children. Consumers have a choice of either returning the recalled suit in exchange for receiving a free replacement suit, or cutting off and discarding the clear rubber zipper pull and continuing to use the original suit.
