Toddler Jeans Recalled by Gymboree
PRODUCT: Toddler Boys Denim Jeans - Gymboree Corp., of Burlingame,
Calif., is voluntarily recalling about 7,000 toddler boys 5-pocket denim
jeans. These indigo-colored jeans were sold in children sizes small (2-
3), medium (3-4), large (4-5), XL (5-6) and XXL (6-7). A red and blue

PROBLEM: The waist snap on the jeans can come off, posing a choking
hazard to young children.

off these jeans, but there have been no reports of injuries.

refund. For more information, call Gymboree at (800) 558-9885 between 9
