Girls BCG Hooded Windsuits
CPSC Recall #14-043 — December 5, 2013
Product
Girls BCG Hooded Windsuits
Description
Hooded windsuits have drawstrings around the neck area. Children can become tangled in neck and waist drawstrings in upper outwear.
Hazard
The hooded windsuits have drawstrings in the hood around the neck area that pose a strangulation hazard to young 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 remove the drawstring from the windsuits to eliminate the hazard, or return the garment to the place of purchase for a full refund.
