Consumers should stop using the recalled Patagonia Infant Capilene Midweight Base Layer Sets immediately and contact Patagonia for a full refund. Patagonia will provide consumers with prepaid labels to return the recalled product and a full refund upon receipt of the product.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s report, about 8,000 items were sold in the United States and about 217 were sold in Canada. The recall was set because snaps in the bodysuit of the recalled base layer sets can detach, posing a choking hazard to infants. Patagonia has received one report of a snap detaching from the shoulder of the bodysuit and being mouthed by a baby.
The recall involves Patagonia Infant Capilene Midweight Base Layer Sets, sold in sizes 0 months through 24 months with style number 60910. Each set consists of a knitted polyester long-sleeved bodysuit with snaps at the left shoulder and at the crotch, and a pair of matching knitted polyester pants with an elastic waistband.
The style number is printed on a sewn-in label inside the garment in the form STY60910FA21 for the Fall 2021 style and STY60910FA22 for the Fall 2022 style. They were sold in five designs: pink and white with “My Planet,” pink hearts and pink trim; blue with “Patagonia” and “Fun Hogs”; pink with small graphics; pink with “Patagonia Mountain Kids” and gray and black with “Patagonia Mountain Kids.”
The product has been sold at Patagonia, REI and other stores nationwide and online at www.patagonia.com, www.rei.com, www.backcountry.com and other websites from August 2021 through January 2023 for about $55.
