Amerex Group Recalls Infant Fur Jackets Due to Choking Hazard

Agency Publication Date: April 2, 2019

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 1,550 infant faux fur cheetah-print jackets are being recalled because the metal snaps can detach from the garment. There have been two reports of snaps detaching, including one incident where a child began to choke. These mid-weight jackets were sold in infant sizes 12 to 24 months at Carter's, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and online at Zulily and Carter's between July 2018 and February 2019. Consumers should immediately stop using these jackets and contact Amerex Group for a full refund.

Risk

The jacket's metal snaps can pull off and become detached. This creates small parts that pose a significant choking hazard to young children if they put the snaps in their mouths.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your child's jacket for the Cheetah Fur pattern and infant sizes 12, 18, or 24 months.
  2. Look at the underside of the jacket's label to see if it contains the printed style number C2185125-CT or C218525.
  3. Verify if 'Amerex Group' is printed on a label underneath the washing instructions label.
  4. Immediately take the recalled jacket away from children and stop using it.
  5. Contact Amerex Group at 800-230-3418 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or by email at InfantJacketRecall@AmerexGroup.com for instructions on receiving a full refund.
  6. Visit www.amerexgroup.com and click on the 'Recall Information' tab for more details on the refund process.
  7. For additional questions, contact the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772.
