Plain-English summary

Meijer is recalling Falls Creek Kids infant and toddler denim jeans due to a choking hazard. The snap on the front of the jeans may come loose and separate from the fabric, which could be swallowed by young children. The recalled jeans were sold in sizes 12M-5T and feature denim with or without pink star or heart graphic designs, as well as cargo style pockets. A label near the front left pocket indicates a production date of 04/2012 and location of Zhangjiagang, China. Infant jeans with production code 4/2012 in sizes 0-3 months, 3-6 months, or 6-9 months are not included in the recall.

The jeans were sold at Meijer and HEB stores nationwide from June 2012 through November 2012 for about $12. Approximately 140,500 units were sold. The product was manufactured by Zhangjiagang Xingyu Print and Dye Knittingly Co., LTD, both located in Zhangjiagang, China, and imported by Meijer Distribution Inc. of Grand Rapids, Michigan.

No injuries have been reported. Consumers should immediately stop using the denim jeans and bring them to the customer service desk at any Meijer or HEB store for a full refund.
