Meijer Inc. Recalls Toddler Girl's Hat and Mitten Sets Due to Choking Hazard

Hazard
The magnets in the hat can detach and fall out, posing a choking and aspiration hazard to young children. Magnets found by young children can be swallowed or aspirated. If more than one magnet is swallowed, the magnets can attract each other and cause intestinal perforations or blockages, which can be fatal.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately take these hat and mitten sets away from children and return to Meijer store for a refund.
Sold at
Meijer stores in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky from August 2008 to October 2008 for about $12.
