"The zipper pulls and foot grips of the George Brand Sleepers, may fall off or be removed through repeated washing, posing choking and ingestion hazards," advises Health Canada. "Affected sleepers can be returned to Wal-Mart stores for a full refund."
Walmart reported that 216,595 units of the affected baby sleepers were sold in Canada between November 2022 to June 2023.
Thankfully, the company has not received any reports of injuries.
