Plain-English summary

Adjmi Apparel Group, an authorized licensee of Reebok, is recalling approximately 61,000 Reebok Children's Fleece Quarter-Zip Pullover/Pant Sets. The recall involves navy blue quarter-zip pullovers sold in navy blue/red and navy blue/pink color combinations in sizes up to children's size 7. The pullovers feature a hood that folds under the collar, and some were sold with matching mittens. The style numbers, printed only on the store tag, end in 1816, 2816, 3816, 1816N, 2814, 2814, 4814, or 5814.

The recall is being issued because the zipper slider and pull on the fleece pullovers can detach, which poses a choking hazard to young children. Reebok has received two consumer reports of detached zipper sliders or pulls, but no injuries have been reported.

The recalled sets were sold exclusively at Gordmans, Mervyns, JC Penney, Kohl's, The Bon, Fred Meyer, Ross, DD's, Edisons, Macy's, AJ Wright, and the Reebok Corporate Headquarters retail store in Canton, Massachusetts, from September 2004 through February 2005. The sets were sold for between $17 and $36. Consumers should immediately take the recalled product away from young children and contact Adjmi at (800) 873-5570 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.Reebok.com, to receive a replacement product.
