Plain-English summary

J. Crew Group Inc. is recalling approximately 20,000 baby coveralls in sizes newborn to 2T. This recall expands a previous action from May 2014, which involved 8,700 additional units. The coveralls were sold in various colors and designs, including prints and stripes, and feature a care label sewn into the inside left seam listing specific PO and style numbers.

The recall is due to a choking hazard: snaps on the coveralls can detach, posing a risk to young children. The firm has received 10 reports of snaps detaching, but no injuries have been reported. The garments were manufactured in China.

The coveralls were sold at J.Crew stores in California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Texas, and Washington, D.C., as well as online at jcrew.com and through the J.Crew catalog from April 2014 to March 2015. The selling price ranged between $30 and $33. Consumers should immediately stop using the coveralls and contact J. Crew for a full refund. Those who purchased online will receive return instructions, including a postage-paid shipping label, while J.Crew is directly contacting other consumers.
