The metal fastener on the legging belts may detach, posing a choking hazard.

While no incidents have been reported in Canada, one incident occurred in the United Kingdom.
 
Customers are advised to remove the belt from the leggings (which can safely be worn without it), and return the belt to an H&M store for a full refund.
 
For further information, customers may contact H&M's Toll-free Customer Service Number at 1-877-466-7467 between 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. EST 7 days a week, or via its website.

From August 1, 2012 to April 1, 2014, approximately 11,355 of the leggings were sold in Canada.
