Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Zutano is recalling about 38,000 infant fleece gripper Cozie booties because the non-slip rubber grips on the bottom can detach. This defect creates small parts that infants can swallow or choke on. The firm has received two reports of infants being found with the detached rubber "Z" shapes in their mouths. The recalled booties were sold in size 12-18 months in 13 solid colors and various multi-color patterns between May 2016 and March 2017.

Risk

The rubber grippers in the shape of a "Z" on the bottom of the booties can pull off, posing a serious choking hazard to infants who may put the small detached pieces in their mouths.
