Levi Strauss Recalls Little Levi's Koveralls and Shortalls Due to Choking Risk

Plain-English summary

Levi Strauss & Co. is voluntarily recalling approximately 3,000 Little Levi's Koveralls and Shortalls in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall involves specific styles of boys' garments in sizes 12 to 24 months and 2T to 4T, as well as infant sizes 12 to 24 months of Levi's brand Girlswear Koveralls and Shortalls. The affected garments were sold in indigo denim, stonebleach denim, pink twill, or pink check fabric.

The hazard involves snap fasteners on the inside legs of the garments that may separate, creating a potential choking risk to children. CPSC and Levi Strauss are not aware of any injuries involving these garments, and the recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury. The products were sold nationwide in retail stores beginning in November 1996.

Consumers should immediately stop using these garments and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund. Product codes are located on the back of the care label sewn in an inside seam of each garment. Consumers with questions may call Levi Strauss & Co. at 1-(800)USA-LEVI or write to the company at Levi's Plaza, P.O. Box 7215, San Francisco, Calif. 94120.
