Dubai : The franchisee for babyGap in the UAE yesterday announced a voluntary recall of the Marrakesh style swimsuit.

"This recall impacts only one style of swimsuit from babyGap in sizes 0-24 months. A limited quantity of 11 units of babyGap Marrakesh style swimsuit were sold in the UAE through the Gap store located at The Dubai Mall," a statement released yesterday said.

It added that the Marrakesh swimsuits have halter straps that are too short and as a result can cause an obstruction to a child's airway.

Consumers were advised to stop using the recalled product immediately unless otherwise instructed. No injuries have yet been reported.
