The jackets 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.
Ripzone is recalling boys' hooded jackets because the drawstring around the neck can become entangled with playground equipment, posing a strangulation hazard to children. This is a serious risk for young children who might get caught on moving objects like slides or school bus doors.
The drawstring can become entangled with moving objects like playground slides, handrails, or school bus doors. This creates a risk of strangulation or entanglement if a child's neck gets caught in the drawstring.
Children wearing the jackets are at risk, especially those who play near playground equipment or school bus doors. Parents and caregivers of boys aged 5-12 who own the recalled jackets should take action.
Look for jackets with a black color and neon blue stripes on shoulders and bottom. The style number 78918 is on the care label inside the lower seam. The size (small/petite or medium) is sewn into the neck seam label.
Take the drawstring out of the jacket to eliminate the strangulation hazard immediately.
