CPSC Recall in 2013: Wearever Girl's Hooded Jacket Sets Recalled by David's Place Due to Strangulation Hazard; Sold Exclusively at Burlington Coat Factory
See the recall details below. You can also see similar information for other consumer product recalls in 2013.
The girls' long sleeve hooded jackets and pant sets have drawstrings through the hood.
The jackets sold with the set have drawstrings through the hood which pose a strangulation hazard to young children. In February 1996, CPSC issued guidelines for 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.
