This recall involves S. Rothschild girls' wool coats with a detachable cape. The coats were sold in pink, red, blue and vanilla with a faux fur cape and in charcoal and vanilla with a faux fur trimmed cape. Two faux pompoms are attached to the end of drawstrings that hang from the cape. The sewn-in neck tag reads, "ROTHSCHILD SINCE 1881."PhotosStyle NumbersSizes36321, 37321, W37321, 38321MInfant to 4T56321. 56321F, 56321Y, 57321,57321F, W57321, 58321M4 to 6X76321, 77321, 78321M7 to 16
Drawstrings on the detachable cape can pose a strangulation hazard to young children. In February 1996, CPSC issued guidelines (which were incorporated into an industry voluntary standard in 1997) to help prevent children from strangling or getting entangled on the neck and waist drawstrings in upper garments, such as jackets and sweatshirts.
