Gap Recalls Baby Swimsuits Due to Strangulation Hazard
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
The swimsuits have halter straps that were manufactured too short causing the plastic ring located at the neck of the swimsuit to press against the child's throat and obstruct the airway. This poses a strangulation hazard to the child.
What to do
Consumers should immediately take the recalled swimsuits away from children and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Contact Gap to return by mail if purchased online.
