Zeeman recalls two baby rompers whose buttons can come loose: look for 122691-4 or 122691-11 on the care label

Short-sleeved baby rompers bought over the summer often come several at a time, and just as often get given away or passed on to another family. On 9 September Zeeman issued a recall poster: two baby rompers under item number 75433, 122691-4 and 122691-11, have buttons that can come loose, a baby who swallows one could choke, and the rompers do not meet safety requirements. The recall covers these two items sold in Zeeman shops and the Zeeman webshop from 15 June to 20 August 2026. The NVWA listed it on 11 September. Zeeman's instruction is plain: stop using them and take them back to a nearby Zeeman shop for a refund of what you paid. The only hard part is finding them. The front of a romper does not say 122691; the number is printed on the care label sewn inside and on the receipt.

• Which ones: in the product photo on the recall poster, 122691-4 is a white romper with a dinosaur print and a plain green one, and 122691-11 is a lilac one with a small print and a light pink one; Productwaarschuwing.nl describes them as green and white with a dino print, and blue with dots and pink. (source 1, source 2)
• Where the number is: the poster says the item number is on the care label inside the garment and on the till receipt; in the label photo on the poster these two read 122691-4-1 or 122691-11-1, with 75433 on the next line. (source 1)
• How to return: stop using it and take it to a nearby Zeeman shop for a refund of the amount paid. Customer service in the Netherlands is 088 007 0000 on weekdays 09:00 to 17:00, email service@zeeman.com; in Belgium 0800-29556. The recall is also posted on the Zeeman homepage. (source 1, source 3)
• Why: Zeeman says testing showed the buttons on these two items can come loose and could cause choking if swallowed, so the items do not meet safety requirements; the poster does not mention any child being hurt. (source 1, source 4)

There are two things to check yourself. First, date and number: if the receipt or webshop order falls between 15 June and 20 August (16 days in June + 31 in July + 20 in August = 67 days) and the care label says 122691-4 or 122691-11, it is covered. Second, how much comes back: refund = number of rompers found × what you paid for each. The label photo on the poster shows the size range 50 to 104, so it is worth going through the wardrobe of a child who has already moved up a size, not only a newborn's.

Gifts count too. Productwaarschuwing.nl passes on Zeeman's request that anyone who gave the rompers away or passed them on should tell the new owner, and the poster ends by asking people to spread the word. Whoever received them usually has no receipt and may not know which shop they came from, so the simplest thing is to ask them to look at the label inside. The poster does not say what happens without a receipt, so bring one if you have it.

Hokimi field note: forward this, together with the number on the label, to friends you have given baby clothes to or received them from; they only need to check the label, not remember when or where the romper was bought.
