Adjmi Apparel Group Recalls Reebok Children's Windsuits for Choking Hazard

Recall Insight

This CPSC action (record #06193) was formally reported on June 22, 2006. It is classified under Moderate severity, with a current status of Active. Adjmi Apparel Group, of New York, N.Y. (Adjmi is an authorized licensee of children's apparel products of Reebok International Ltd., of Canton, Mass.) is listed as the recalling firm. Federal records indicate About 55,000 units are affected.

The documented reason for this recall is: The Reebok logo appliqué on the clear rubber zipper pull on the jacket can detach, posing a choking or aspiration hazard to young children. Distribution information was not included in the agency filing, so consumers should assume broad potential exposure until the firm publishes point-of-sale details. The remedy documented by the agency is: Consumers should immediately take the recalled product away from young children. Consumers have a choice of either (1) returning the recalled suit in exchange for receiving a free replacement suit or… — consumers holding this product should act on that instruction rather than relying on general guidance.

To put this record in context, PlainRecalls indexes 83,949 recalls across the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA FSIS going back to 1995. Within the same product category, the database holds 6 closely related recalls, of which 6 were also issued by CPSC. That clustering is a signal — repeated actions in a narrow category often indicate a systemic quality-control issue, a supplier-wide contamination, or a design defect that has propagated across product lines. This recall is roughly 20 years old; older recalls can remain relevant because many units enter resale, rental, and secondary-market channels where the original warning never reaches the end user. Always cross-check the recall number against the official agency page before relying on any summary.
