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.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves risk-of-harm products (choking and laceration hazards) involving young children, and the source explicitly states no injuries have been reported. Per the severity rubric, when no illnesses or injuries are reported and the hazard is theoretical, the score is at most 3.

Plain-English summary

Winter Water Factory LLC, of Brooklyn, New York, is recalling approximately 46,500 infant French terry jumpsuits, rompers, snap suits, baby dresses and bibs sold from August 2020 through April 2022.
