SX and QH Boys' Zip-front Hooded Jackets
CPSC Recall #12-178 — May 14, 2012
Product
SX and QH Boys' Zip-front Hooded Jackets
Description
These boys' hoodies have drawstrings at the neck which can strangle a child.
Hazard
The jackets have a drawstring through the hood which poses a strangulation hazard to 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 take the recalled jacket from their child and remove the drawstring or contact Bonded Apparel for instructions on returning the product for a full refund.
