Hazard

The toggle on the pockets of the pants can break off, posing a choking hazard to young children.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately remove and discard the two toggles on the leg pockets. The pants then can be worn without the toggle.

Incidents & injuries

Kids "R" Us has received one report of a 9-month old boy, who began to choke on a toggle that he removed from the pants. The toggle was dislodged.
