Toddler Jeans Recalled by Gymboree

PRODUCT: Toddler Boys Denim Jeans - Gymboree Corp., of Burlingame, Calif., is voluntarily recalling about 7,000 toddler boys 5-pocket denim jeans. These indigo-colored jeans were sold in children sizes small (2- 3), medium (3-4), large (4-5), XL (5-6) and XXL (6-7). A red and blue label on the jeans reads, "GYMSPORT," and "Made in Mexico."
