Trail Crest boys and girls hooded sweatshirts and jackets
CPSC Recall #14-002 — October 22, 2013
Product
Trail Crest boys and girls hooded sweatshirts and jackets
Description
The hoodies and jackets were sold with drawstrings through the hood or neck. These drawstrings pose a hazard to young children.
Hazard
The hoodies and jackets have drawstrings through the hood or neck which 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
No injuries have been reported.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately take the garments away from children. Consumers can remove the drawstrings to eliminate the hazard or return the garments to Trail Crest for a full refund. Contact Trail Crest for a return address label and instructions for returning the garment.
