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 a choking hazard to young children, which is a risk-of-harm product category. Although one incident of ingestion has been reported, this falls under the High (score 3) criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury potential is established through the reported incident.

Plain-English summary

Cotton On USA Inc. is recalling plastic toy pinwheels that were given away as free promotional items at Cotton On Kids Stores. The pinwheels are multi-colored and display "KIDS" and "COTTON ON" in white letters. About 8,500 units were distributed from April 2023 through January 2024 at locations in Scottsdale, Arizona; Christiana, Delaware; Willowbrook, Texas; Orlando, Florida; Cool Springs, Tennessee; and Franklin, Louisiana.

The pinwheel's fastener cap can come loose and detach, creating a choking hazard for young children. The firm has received one report of a child swallowing a detached fastener cap.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled pinwheels and dispose of the product. Because the pinwheels were given away for free, no refund or replacement will be provided.
