Hazard

A ribbon that runs through the zipper pull tab can detach, resulting in a potential choking hazard.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately remove and discard the ribbon. The garment then can be worn without the ribbon.

Incidents & injuries

Carter's® received four reports of children detaching the ribbons, putting them in their mouths, and starting to gag or choke. No injuries have been reported.
