What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a choking hazard for young children, which fits the rubric criterion for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'
Plain-English summary
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Gymboree are recalling about 5,500 baby boy bodysuits. The recalled items are short-sleeved, one-piece outfits for toddlers sizes 0-3T, available in green and red. They feature a wheel-shaped zipper pull and a patch on the left arm that says "1st Place Soap Box Derby." A white care label inside reads "Made in Thailand" and "2000 Gymboree."
The recall is being conducted because the wheel-shaped zipper pull can twist off and become a choking hazard to young children. CPSC and Gymboree have not received any reports of injuries; the recall is a precautionary measure to prevent the possibility of injury.
These bodysuits were sold at Gymboree stores nationwide and on the company's website from March 2001 through May 2001 for about $17. Consumers should stop using these outfits and return them to any Gymboree store for a full refund. For more information, call Gymboree toll-free at (800) 222-7758 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit www.gymboree.com.
