Plain-English summary

The TJX Companies, Inc. is recalling approximately 21,000 Emma's Garden® Polka-Dot girls' dresses in the United States and 2,600 in Canada. The recall involves dresses in sizes 12 months to 5T, sold in black and white and pink and white designs. The dresses feature three round, white decorative buttons on the front that are approximately 3/4 inch in diameter.
