Units: About 450

The infant bodysuits and rompers were sold in eight colors and prints: eggplant with kiwi green binding, floral print with eggplant binding, kiwi green with eggplant binding, pacific blue with kiwi green binding, crisscross print and kiwi green with pacific blue binding. The infant bodysuits were sold in sizes 0 to 3 months up to 12 to 18 months. The rompers were sold in sizes 0 to 3 months up to 18 to 24 months. "Kiwi industries" is printed on a tag sewn inside the garment's collar.

The problem, in CPSC's words

Snaps on the infant bodysuits and rompers can detach from the garment, posing a choking hazard to young children.

Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC

The firm has received two reports of snaps detaching. No injuries have been reported.
