JCPenney has recalled about 24,000 pairs of newborn and infant pants. The metal snap on the waist can detach and pose a choking hazard. So far no injuries have been reported.
The recall involves Arizona brand newborn and infant girl’s and boy’s denim pants. They were sold in sizes 0-3 months, 3-6 months and 6-9 months. Only those pants made in Bangladesh are affected; pants made in China are not included in the recall. The country of origin is located on a label sewn into the waistband.
The pants were sold exclusively at JCPenney from July through October 2008 for about $15. Consumers should stop using the pants and return them to the store for a full refund.
