Mervyns is recalling about 228,000 little girls' Capri pants with a snap roll cuff.
The buttons inside the waistband of the pants can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children.
The recalled pants are Ellemenno brand Capri pants sold in girls' sizes 4, 5, 6, 6X, 7 and 8. The pants were sold in a variety of colors including light grey, tan, coral and light aqua blue.
The pants are made of 100% cotton poplin and have a snap at the cuff, the waist band and on the pockets of the pants. Inside of the waistband are two clear buttons and a strip of enclosed elastic for adjusting the fit of the pants. 'VN 69047' is printed on the product care label located inside the waist of the pants.
The pants were sold at Mervyns stores nationwide from December 2006 through April 2007 for about $20.
Consumers should immediately stop their children from wearing the pants and return them to any Mervyns store for a refund.
