The company says the jacket’s snaps can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children. Amerex Group adds consumers should immediately take the recalled jacket away from children, stop using it and contact the business for a full refund.

There have been two reports of the snaps detaching from the jacket, including one report of a child that began to choke.

The item was sold nationwide at Carter’s, Century 21 Stores, TJ Maxx/Marshalls stores, and online at Zulily.com and Carters from July 2018 through February 2019 for about US$65.
