J. Crew is recalling specific boys' denim pants because small stones from the manufacturing process may remain in the pockets or waistband, posing a choking risk to young children.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

J. Crew Group Inc. is recalling approximately 900 units of Crewcuts boys' stone washed denim pants. The recall involves pants sold in sizes 2 and 3 that were made in Pakistan. The specific items included in the recall have style number J8406 and season FA 19, which are listed on the care label sewn into the side seam. A label sewn into the waistband lists the size, country of origin, and "Crewcuts." The UPC codes 099105125419 and 099105125420 are listed on the price tag attached to the pants.

The hazard exists because small stones can be present in the pockets or waistband of the pants resulting from the stone washing manufacturing process. These stones pose an aspiration or choking hazard to young children. J. Crew received one report of stones found in the waistband extension of the pants, but no injuries have been reported.

The recalled pants were sold at J. Crew and Crewcuts stores nationwide and online at jcrew.com from July 2019 through October 2019 for about $50. Consumers should immediately take the recalled pants away from children and remove the stones from the pockets or internal waistband opening to eliminate the hazard. For more information, consumers can contact J. Crew at 800-261-7422, email [email protected], or visit www.jcrew.com/Boys and click on Important Notice.
