Deezo boys and girls zip-up hoodies
CPSC Recall #13-192 — May 16, 2013
Product
Deezo boys and girls zip-up hoodies
Description
The hoodies were sold with drawstrings, which pose a hazard to young children.
Hazard
The sweatshirts and jackets have drawstrings through the hood which pose a strangulation hazard to young children. In February 1996, CPSC issued http://www.cpsc.gov/en/Business--Manufacturing/Business-Education/Busin… 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 take the garments away from children. Consumers can remove the drawstrings to eliminate the hazard or return the garments to Zulily for a full refund. Contact Zulily to obtain a return address label and instructions for returning the garment.
