Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 140,500 pairs of Falls Creek Kids infant and toddler denim jeans are being recalled because the metal snap on the front can detach from the fabric. These jeans were sold in boys' and girls' styles, including versions with pink star or heart embroidery and cargo-style pockets, in sizes 12M through 5T. The affected clothing was sold at Meijer and HEB stores nationwide between June and November 2012 for approximately $12. Consumers should immediately stop using these jeans and return them for a full refund.

Risk

The front snap on the jeans can come loose and separate from the fabric, creating a small part that poses a serious choking hazard if swallowed by an infant or toddler.

What You Should Do

  1. Check the inside back waistband for a sewn-in tag that says 'Falls Creek Kids' to confirm the brand.
  2. Check the inside of the jeans near the front left pocket for a label that includes the production date '04/2012' and the production location 'Zhangjiagang, China'.
  3. Verify the size of the jeans; the recall affects sizes 12M, 18M, 24M, 2T, 3T, 4T, and 5T. Note that sizes 0-3 mos, 3-6 mos, or 6-9 mos are NOT included in this recall.
  4. Immediately stop using any affected jeans and keep them out of reach of children.
  5. Bring the recalled jeans to the customer service desk at any Meijer or HEB store to receive a full refund.
