This children’s pajamas have been sold in Canada from March to May 2013.
The number of products recalled this time is approximately 9,800. The reason for the recall is that the snaps on the pajamas are easy to fall off, posing a choking hazard to children if swallowed by mistake. So far, Loblaw Companies Ltd. has received 1 report of snap buttons falling, and there has been no personal injury incident. Health Canada has not received any reports of incidents.
For this reason, Health Canada recommends that consumers immediately stop wearing the recalled children’s pajamas and contact Loblaw stores for returns and full refunds.
