WASHINGTON, D.C. -- CPSC, Levi Strauss & Co., San Francisco, CA, is voluntarily recalling approximately 40,000 toddler jeans, Shortalls, Rompers and Koveralls. The diaper access snap fasteners located on the inside legs of the garments may detach and could pose a choking hazard for young children. The garments were designed for children 12 to 24 months of age. The boys garments sold in retail stores throughout the country from July 1993 to early 1994 in dark blue or indigo blue stonewash with grey trim. The boys garments recalled are a Rib Bottom Jean; a Koverall, which is a full pant length version of a traditional adult overall; a Shortall, which is a short pant length version of a traditional adult overall; and a Romper, which is a loose fitting denim body play suit. The girls garments are a Koverall with pink elastic suspenders. They were sold in retail stores from May, 1992 to the present in bleach blue, indigo blue stonewash, pink stonewash, or pink.

Consumers who purchased these garments should immediately discontinue their use and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Over time, snaps and buttons can become loose or detach from all children's garments, regardless of the brand. Consumers are encouraged to check their children's clothes on a regular basis.

The company subsequently reported that it had received a report of an additional incident. There was no injury reported with either incident. Levi Strauss & Company states that it has no evidence of a snap fastener problem with respect to several of the product codes but is recalling them out of an abundance of caution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Follow the consumer action instructions in the recall notice above. Most recalls require you to stop using the product and contact the manufacturer directly — either by calling the toll-free number listed in the official CPSC notice or by visiting the manufacturer's website. You generally do not need a receipt or original packaging to claim a remedy. The manufacturer is legally required to provide the remedy (Refund) at no cost to you.

Federal law prohibits the sale of toys with small parts for children under age 3. CPSC uses a standardized small parts cylinder to test whether pieces from a toy can fit entirely inside — if they can, they are considered a choking hazard. Products marketed for children under 3 must not contain any small parts. Beyond the legal requirements, the CPSC and pediatricians recommend keeping all small objects away from children under 4, as the risk of choking extends beyond the formal legal age threshold.

In most cases, no. CPSC-coordinated recall remedies are designed to be accessible without proof of purchase. Manufacturers typically ask consumers to self-certify ownership and may ask for photos of the product or its serial number. Some manufacturers request that you mail in a portion of the product (such as a cut cord or removed component) as proof of disposal. Check the specific remedy instructions for this recall for exact requirements. If you registered your product at the time of purchase, the process is usually even simpler.

If the original manufacturer has gone out of business, the recall remedy may no longer be available through them. In this case, contact CPSC directly at 1-800-638-2772 or cpsc.gov for guidance. If the brand was acquired by another company, the acquiring company may have assumed recall obligations. In some cases where a remedy is unavailable, CPSC advises consumers to safely dispose of the product. If you were injured by the product of a defunct company, consult a product liability attorney — parent companies, distributors, and retailers may still bear liability in some circumstances.
