CPSC, Nordstrom Inc. Announce Recall of Infant and Girls' Sweatshirts
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Nordstrom Inc., of Seattle, Wash., is recalling about
5,300 infant and girls' sweatshirts. Zipper pulls on these sweatshirts
can detach from the garments, posing a choking hazard to young children.
Nordstrom is aware of one incident in which an infant choked on
the zipper pull, but suffered no permanent injuries.
The recalled garments are cotton/polyester blend, long-sleeve,
half-zipper sweatshirts with a heart-shaped zipper pull. They are pink
or blue, and sold in infant size 6 months through big girl size 16.
These sweatshirts have collar labels reading, "Baby N" or "N Kids."
Nordstrom stores nationwide sold these sweatshirts in December
1999 for between $22 and $28.
Consumers should stop wearing these sweatshirts immediately, and
return them to any Nordstrom store for a refund. For more information,
call Nordstrom at (888) 282-6060 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. any day of
the week.
