They said that the risk presented by the product is choking, as the button may detach from the garment creating a small part.
And the small part may be placed in the mouth and swallowed, causing a young child to choke.
The brand is Pepco and the product codes are 871590 and 871591.
The style number is 871586, followed by the barcodes 5045731150841 and 5045731150858.
