Meijer Recalls Wave Zone Children's Swimsuits Due to Choking Hazard

Plain-English summary

Meijer, of Grand Rapids, Mich., is recalling about 22,200 Wave Zone one-piece, zip-back swimsuits for newborns, infants, and toddlers. The recall is due to a choking hazard, as the snaps on the swimsuits can detach. The affected swimsuits feature a zipper on the back and four snaps on the bottom and were sold in four specific color and pattern combinations: blue and gray with a shark, white and navy stripes with an anchor pattern, pink and teal with a strawberry, and pink arms with a multi-colored fish pattern. The sizes involved are 0-3m, 3-6m, 6-9m, 12m, 18m, and 24m. The "Wave Zone" and "Made in China" text is printed on the inner collar, and the tracking number "NOV 2016 021-14328" is located on the sewn-in label on the inner side seam.

The swimsuits were sold at Meijer stores in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin, and at H-E-B stores in Texas from January 2017 through July 2017 for about $14. Meijer has received 11 reports of the snaps detaching, but no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled swimsuits and return them to the customer service desk at any Meijer store for a full refund.
