Girls’ Winter Jackets with drawstrings Recall Information
| Country of Origin | China |
| Recall Date | 05/08/2012 |
| Recall ID | 1037 |
| Recall Number | 12167 |
| Product Type | Drawstrings |
| 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. |
| Injuries | None reported |
| Remedy | Consumers should immediately remove the drawstring to eliminate the hazard, or return the jacket to a dd's Discounts store for a full refund. |
| Remedy Option | Refund |
