BRP recalls 14 styles of kids' hooded sweatshirts for children ages 2-12 due to strangulation risk from drawstrings that can get caught on playground equipment.
The hoodies 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.
