Browning Youth Buckmark Junior Hoodie Sweatshirts
CPSC Recall #14-067 — December 19, 2013
Product
Browning Youth Buckmark Junior Hoodie Sweatshirts
Description
The hoodies were sold with drawstrings through the hood or neck. These drawstrings pose a hazard to young children.
Hazard
The hooded sweatshirts have drawstrings around the neck area that pose a strangulation or an entanglement hazard to young children. In February 1996, CPSC http://www.cpsc.gov/PageFiles/64148/208.pdf"> 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 remove the drawstrings from the hooded sweatshirts to eliminate the hazard or return the garment to Browning for a full refund.
