Alpha Industries recalls children's hooded sweatshirts with drawstrings that pose strangulation risk to young children. Consumers should remove drawstrings or return for refund.
The hooded sweatshirts have drawstrings through the hoods which can pose a strangulation or entrapment hazard to children.
Alpha Industries is recalling children's hooded sweatshirts with drawstrings that can cause strangulation or entrapment if a child's head gets caught in the drawstring. This is a serious hazard for young children.
The drawstrings can become entangled around a child's neck or head, leading to strangulation or suffocation. Children may accidentally pull the drawstring through the hood, causing entrapment.
Parents and caregivers of children who own these sweatshirts are most at risk. Children under age 5 are particularly vulnerable due to their small size and tendency to put objects in their mouths.
Look for sweatshirts with an eagle and 'Hero by Choice' on the front, olive green color, and drawstrings through the hood. The label with 'Alpha Industries' and 'RN#35569' is sewn into the neck.
Take the drawstrings out of the hood to eliminate the strangulation hazard immediately.
Return the sweatshirts to the place of purchase or Alpha Industries for a full refund.
Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings from the hoods of the sweatshirts to eliminate the hazard or return them to the place of purchase or Alpha Industries for a full refund.
The drawstrings can pose a strangulation or entrapment hazard to children, especially if a child's head gets caught in the drawstring.
Immediately remove the drawstrings from the hood or return the sweatshirts to the place of purchase or Alpha Industries for a full refund.
