Wibra is warning about two models of baby and children's waistcoats whose buttons can easily come off. This can release small parts that are dangerous to young children, the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) reports.
The warning applies to the BMS vestje catfeather strik and KMS vestje catfeather strik models. The products have article numbers 2287.0143 and 2287.0149, with batch codes 2001294 and 2204248.
The waistcoats were sold in Wibra shops from 14 September to 29 October 2026 inclusive. The NVWA advises consumers to stop using the product. The regulator cites the risk of small parts coming loose and being swallowed by young children.
In addition to the batch codes, the NVWA lists four colour codes: 111, 192, 195 and 202. This information should help consumers establish whether their waistcoat is covered by the warning.
The NVWA refers consumers to Wibra's warning for further handling. The NVWA notice provides no further information about returns or refunds.
The warning concerns a specific product and not all children's clothing sold by Wibra. Consumers who bought the waistcoat can compare it with the features listed in the NVWA notice and temporarily keep it out of the reach of young children.
