Girls' Sugarfly Peacoats with a waist drawstring
CPSC Recall #14-157 — April 24, 2014
Product
Girls' Sugarfly Peacoats with a waist drawstring
Description
The coats have a drawstring tie at the waist that can get snagged or caught in small spaces or vehicle doors.
Hazard
The coats have a drawstring tie sewn into the side seam at the waist that could become snagged or caught in small spaces or vehicle doors, posing significant entanglement hazard to children. In February 1996, CPSC issued guidelines about drawstrings in children's upper outerwear. In 1997, those guidelines were incorporated into a voluntary standard. Then, in July 2011, based on the guidelines and voluntary standard, CPSC issued a federal regulation. CPSC's actions demonstrate a commitment to help prevent children from strangling or getting entangled on neck and waist drawstrings in upper outerwear, such as jackets and sweatshirts.
Incidents / Injuries
None reported.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately detach the tie from the side seams of the coat to eliminate the hazard, or return the coat to the place of purchase for a full refund.
