| Recall ID | 1541 |
| Recall Number | 14015 |
| Product Type | Outerwear |
| Hazard | The jackets have drawstrings in the hood around the neck area that pose a strangulation hazard to young 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 take the recalled jackets away from children and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund or for a repair. |
| Remedy Option | Refund |
