Kyber recalls animal-themed children's sweaters with drawstrings that can cause strangulation if entangled on playground equipment or moving objects. Consumers should remove drawstrings or return sweaters for credit.
The sweaters have a drawstring around the neck area that 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.
Kyber is recalling animal-themed children's sweaters because the drawstrings around the neck pose a strangulation hazard. Children could get entangled on playground equipment or moving objects, leading to serious injury.
The drawstrings can become entangled with playground slides, handrails, school bus doors, or other moving objects. This entanglement can cause strangulation or entanglement injuries to children.
Parents and caregivers of children who own Kyber animal-themed sweaters. Children under age 5 are most at risk due to the small size of the drawstrings.
Look for sweaters with a tag sewn on the left seam above the hem showing 'Kyber' and the place of origin (Nepal or Bangladesh). The company name is also on a patch on the left sleeve and collar.
Take the drawstring off the sweater to prevent entanglement.
Return the sweater to Kyber Outerwear for a full credit on their products.
