Plain-English summary

Lands' End is recalling approximately 24,000 units of infant and toddler outer wear, including Squall Parkas, Sport Squalls, Snow Suits, and Bibs. The recall involves specific style numbers for both infant and toddler sizes, which are identified on a label in the left side seam of the garment.

The recalled garments feature a rubber tab located at the end of the fabric zipper pull on the front of the jacket. This design poses a choking hazard because the rubber tab can be bitten off by young children. The company has received four reports of the tab being chewed off, but no injuries have been reported.

These products were sold through Lands' End Catalogue and Internet sales from August 2004 through December 21, 2004, for prices between $54.50 and $79.50. Consumers should cut off the fabric zipper pull and dispose of it. For more information, consumers can call Lands' End at (800) 200-6212 or visit www.landsend.com.
