H&M voluntarily recalls children's water bottles that can pose choking hazard

NEW YORK (AP) -- Swedish fashion retailer H&M is voluntarily recalling children's water bottles whose spouts can break off and pose a choking hazard.

H&M said Wednesday that consumers should immediately stop using the water bottle and call the company to receive a prepaid mailer to return the bottle. Upon receipt of the returned bottle, consumers will be mailed a full refund plus a $25 H&M gift card.

The product was sold at H&M's children's departments nationwide from July 2012 through March 2013 for between $1.50 and $5. About 2,900 bottles were recalled in September 2012 but about 200 were sold after the original recall, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Owners of the bottles can reach H&M at (855) 466-7467.
