Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 25,000 Falls Creek Kids infant and toddler zip-up hoodies have been recalled because the zipper slider can detach. Meijer has received one report of a zipper slider body and pull detaching from a garment, though no injuries have been reported. These hoodies were sold in sizes 12M through 5T in five different color styles and patterns between June 2018 and October 2018 for about $14. Consumers should return these hoodies to any Meijer store for a full refund.

Risk

The zipper slider and pull can detach from the hoodie, creating a small part that poses a serious choking hazard to young children if swallowed or inhaled.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your child's hoodie for the brand name 'Falls Creek Kids' printed on the inner collar.
  2. Verify if your hoodie is affected by checking the tracking number on the sewn-in label on the inner side seam for 'MAY 2018 17677,' 'MAY 2018 17506,' or 'AUGUST 2018 17932'.
  3. Confirm the style matches one of the following: navy with white/orange stripes, teal with white/navy stripes, gray with football play graphics, olive green with a bear graphic, or gray girl's hoodie with ruffled trim.
  4. Immediately take the recalled hoodies away from children and stop using them.
  5. Return the affected hoodies to any Meijer store location to receive a full refund.
