Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

JCPenney is recalling approximately 5,400 Okie Dokie Denim Patches Shortie shorts because the decorative patches can detach from the fabric. If these patches come off, they pose a choking hazard to young children. The shorts were sold in toddler sizes 2T through 5T at JCPenney stores and online from February 2018 through June 2018. Consumers should immediately stop using these shorts and return them for a full refund.

Risk

The watermelon and rainbow patches on the front pockets can pull away from the denim, creating small parts that a child could ingest and choke on. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.

What You Should Do

  1. Check the inside back seam of the shorts for a white tag to identify if your product is affected. Look for item number 324-8191 and date code 12/17.
  2. Identify the shorts by their design: they are blue denim with a rainbow patch and a watermelon slice patch on the front pockets, featuring tan stitching.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled shorts and keep them out of reach of young children.
  4. Contact JCPenney at 800-322-1189 from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. CT Monday through Sunday to receive instructions on how to return the shorts.
  5. Return the shorts to any JCPenney store to receive a full refund in the form of a JCPenney gift card.
