Plain-English summary

Nordstrom Inc. is recalling approximately 2,250 infant and toddler jackets due to a choking hazard. The recalled garments were made in pink or blue gingham fabric with a hood and flap pockets. They were sold in infant sizes 6 months through 24 months and toddler sizes 2T through 4T. The jackets were made from 100 percent cotton and feature "Baby N" on the collar label and "nowhere but nordstrom" on the hood label.

The hazard exists because snaps located on the flap pockets of these jackets could be removed, presenting a choking hazard to infants and young children. Nordstrom is not aware of any injuries from these jackets, and the recall is being conducted to prevent injuries.

These jackets were sold in Nordstrom stores nationwide during January 2000 for about $34 to $36. Consumers should stop using these jackets immediately and return them to any Nordstrom store for a refund. For more information, consumers can call Nordstrom at (888) 282-6060 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. any day of the week.
