CPSC, Nordstrom Inc. Announce Recall of Infant and Toddler Jackets
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Nordstrom Inc., of Seattle, Wash., is recalling
approximately 2,250 infant and toddler jackets. Snaps located on the
flap pockets of these jackets could be removed, presenting a choking
hazard to infants and young children.
Nordstrom is not aware of any injuries from these jackets. This recall
is being conducted to prevent injuries.
The recalled garments were made in pink or blue gingham fabric with a
hood and flap pockets. They were sold in infant sizes 6 months through
24 months and toddler sizes 2T through 4T. "Baby N" is on each collar
label. The jackets were made from 100 percent cotton. The words "nowhere
but nordstrom" is on each jacket's hood label.
Nordstrom stores nationwide sold these jackets during January 2000 for
about $34 to $36.
Consumers should stop using these jackets immediately and return them to
any Nordstrom store for a refund. For more information, call Nordstrom
