Plain-English summary

Reebok and Adjmi Apparel Group are recalling approximately 8,000 units of Reebok Children's Windwear and Fleece Jacket and Pant Sets. The recall is due to a defect where the zipper slider and pull on the jackets can detach if pulled while the jacket is open. These detached parts can pose a choking hazard to young children.

The recalled sets were sold exclusively at Gordmans, Fred Meyer, Kids R Us, Ross, Gottschalks, and the Reebok Corporate Headquarters retail store in Canton, Massachusetts, between August 2004 and February 2005. The sets were sold for between $15 and $20 in sizes up to children's size 7. Reebok has received three reports of zipper sliders or pulls detaching, but no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled product away from young children. To receive a replacement product, consumers should contact the Adjmi recall hotline at (800) 873-5570 or visit the Reebok website at www.reebok.com.
