An Issaquah-based clothing wholesaler has issued a recall on nearly a half-million infant one-pieces due to a choking hazard.

In an announcement made Aug. 6, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission reported the snaps on the onesies, supplied to SanMar by children’s clothing manufacturer Precious Cargo, could come undone and present a choking hazard. Approximately 479,000 onesies were sold by SanMar beginning in July 2014 to promotional products distributors, screen printers, embroiderers and other retailers around the country.

There have been no reported injuries from the hazard, according to the CPSC.

The offending products can be identified by their inner tag, which bear the product number “CAR40,” next to a tracking number. A list of the tracking numbers that return to SanMar can be found at www.sanmar.com/about/recall.jsp.

SanMar is offering a full refund to customers of the Precious Cargo one-pieces. The company’s consumer contact line is 1-844-490-8710. The company has also established an email address for the recall at preciouscargosafety@sanmar.com.
