IQ Girls' Hooded Pink Leopard Jackets

Description

The IQ Girls hooded jackets have a drawstring through the hood.These drawstrings are a hazard to children.

Hazard

The jackets have a drawstring through the hood which can pose a strangulation hazard to children. In February 1996, CPSC issued http://www.cpsc.gov/PageFiles/64148/208.pdf"> 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.

Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings from the garment to eliminate the hazard or return the garment to Ram's Imports Inc. for a full refund.
