CPSC Recall in 2014: Pure Baby Organics Boys Hoodie Recalled by Chantique's Corp. Due To Strangulation Hazard
See the recall details below. You can also see similar information for other consumer product recalls in 2014.
The boys hoodies have a drawstring around the neck area which poses a strangulation hazard to children.
The sweaters 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 or an 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.
