Lands' End Recalls Little Kids' Parkas Due to Choking Hazard

Lands' End is recalling approximately 6,000 children's parkas because zipper parts may detach and pose a choking risk. No injuries have been reported.

What this means for you

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 from small parts on a children's product, which fits the rubric criterion for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'

Plain-English summary

Lands' End, Inc. is recalling approximately 6,000 Little Girl's Fur Trimmed Parkas (Style #79721) and Little Kids' Reversible Down Parkas (Style #79725). The recall was initiated because the zipper box may detach, allowing the zipper slide to fall off. These small parts pose a choking risk to children.

The parkas were sold through the Lands' End catalog, website, and certain Sears, Roebuck and Co. retail stores from November 2002 through mid-January 2003 for $79.50 or below. Lands' End has received reports of the zipper detaching, but no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled parkas and contact Lands' End toll-free at (800) 200-6212 or visit www.landsend.com to discuss a return, refund, or replacement. Many purchasers were already contacted directly by letter and provided with a replacement parka.
