Data Source: CPSC.

Recall Number: 14-167

Date: May 01, 2014

Product Name: Boys' Ripzone Hooligan Hooded Jackets

Recall Description:

Drawstrings can become tangled or caught on playground slides, hand rails, school- bus doors or other moving objects.

Hazard Description:

The jackets have a drawstring around the neck area which poses a strangulation hazard to children. Drawstrings can become entangled or caught on playground slides, hand rails, school- bus doors or other moving objects, posing a significant strangulation and/or entanglement 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.
