Zipper pulls on these sweatshirts can detach from the garments, posing a choking hazard to young children. Nordstrom is aware of one incident in which an infant choked on the zipper pull, but suffered no permanent injuries. The recalled garments are cotton/polyester blend, long-sleeve, half-zipper sweatshirts with a heart-shaped zipper pull. They are pink or blue, and sold in infant size 6 months through big girl size 16. These sweatshirts have collar labels reading, "Baby N" or "N Kids." Nordstrom stores nationwide sold these sweatshirts in December 1999 for between $22 and $28. Consumers should stop wearing these sweatshirts immediately, and return them to any Nordstrom store for a refund.
