Meijer Inc. Recalls Toddler Girl's Hat and Mitten Sets Due to Choking Hazard
What was recalled
The recalled hats and mittens have two magnets sewn into each side of the hat and are cotton with pink, lavender, orange and aqua green stripes and various prints. Some of the hat and mittens have dark pink hearts with light pink stripes. "Aquarius LTD" is printed on the tag of the hat and mitten sets.
Hazard
The magnets in the hat can detach and fall out, posing a choking and aspiration hazard to young children. Magnets found by young children can be swallowed or aspirated. If more than one magnet is swallowed, the magnets can attract each other and cause intestinal perforations or blockages, which can be fatal.
Injuries
Meijer has received one report of the magnet separating from the hat. No injuries have been reported.
