Hazard

The attached compass on these jackets can break, posing a choking hazard for young children. Additionally, the liquid mineral oil inside the compass can be harmful if swallowed.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately remove the compass from the jacket and throw it away, or mail the compass to H & M to receive a store discount coupon.

Incidents & injuries

The firm received one report of a child outside of the U.S. who began to choke on a broken piece of the attached compass. No injuries have been reported.
