Macy’s Recalls Infants’ Varsity Jackets Due to Choking Hazard

HARTFORD, July 19 –  Macy’s is recalling about 8,700 “First Impressions” varsity jackets because snaps on the jackets can come off, posing a choking hazard. Made in China and imported by Macy’s Merchandising Group, Inc., of New York, N.Y., the recalled items are infants’ snap-up jackets with hoods.

The hooded jackets were sold exclusively at Macy’s stores nationwide, on the website www.macys.com, and at Military Exchanges between September and November 2012 for between $25 and $52.

They were available in navy blue with green and turquoise trim, or gray with yellow sleeves and navy and yellow trim.  Style number 1300 is found on the label sewn into the side seam and the UPC code is found on the product hangtag. The recalled jackets range in sizes from 3months to 24 months. 
          

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products and return them to the place of purchase for a refund of the purchase price. Consumers who purchased the product from www.macys.com should return the recalled products to their nearest Macy’s store or use the return shipping label enclosed with their original mail order.

Consumers with questions may call Macy’s toll-free at (888) 257-5949 between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. ET or go online at www.macys.com and click on Product Recalls for more information.

It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.
