5 Star Kids Apparel recalls boy's hooded jackets with drawstrings that pose strangulation risk to children. Remove drawstrings immediately for safety.
The recalled jackets have drawstrings with toggles inside the bottom hem and neck area, posing a strangulation hazard to children.
5 Star Kids Apparel is recalling boy's hooded jackets that have drawstrings with toggles inside the neck and hem, which can cause strangulation if a child puts their hand in the drawstring loop. This is a serious hazard for young children.
The drawstrings have toggles inside the neck and hem area that children could accidentally pull through, leading to strangulation. This hazard is present in normal use when a child's hand gets caught in the drawstring loop.
Parents and caregivers of children under age 5 who own the recalled jackets are most at risk. Children who might put their hands in the drawstring loops could be harmed.
Look for jackets with the word 'Mecca' embroidered on the front chest and a label sewn into the neck. The style number is found on a label one inch above the bottom seam on the left side of the jacket.
Cut out the drawstrings and toggles from the garment to eliminate the strangulation hazard.
Customers can return the product to the store where purchased for a full refund.
Consumers should remove the drawstrings immediately, cut drawstrings out of the garment including toggle and continue to use jackets once both are removed. Customers can return the product to the store where purchased for a full refund.
