Plain-English summary

Amerex Group is recalling about 1,550 infant Cheetah Fur jackets due to a choking hazard. The recall involves a faux fur mid-weight jacket sold in infant sizes 12 to 24 months. The underside of the jacket's label contains the printed style number C2185125-CT or C218525, and Amerex Group is printed on a label underneath the washing instructions label.
