Prairie Mountain recalls youth hooded wind/rain jackets with a drawstring through the hood that can cause strangulation in children. Consumers should remove the drawstring or contact for refund.
The jackets have a drawstring through the hood which poses a strangulation hazard to children.
Prairie Mountain is recalling youth hooded wind/rain jackets because the drawstring through the hood poses a strangulation hazard to children. This is serious enough that consumers should stop using the jackets immediately to prevent injury.
The drawstring can be easily pulled through the hood, creating a tight loop that may cause strangulation if a child's neck is caught in it. This hazard is especially dangerous for young children who may not understand the risk.
Parents or caregivers of children who own the recalled youth jackets are most at risk. Children under age 10 are particularly vulnerable due to the small size of the drawstring.
The recalled jackets are youth sizes 2/4, 6/8, 10/12, and 14/16 in red, royal blue, or green. They were sold by Prairie Mountain starting in 2023.
Take the drawstring out of the jacket hood to eliminate the strangulation hazard.
Contact Prairie Mountain directly for instructions on getting a full refund if you want to return the jacket.
Consumers should immediately remove the drawstring from the jacket hood to eliminate the hazard, or contact Prairie Mountain for instructions on how to receive a full refund.
No, the drawstring through the hood poses a strangulation hazard to children, so they should not be used until the drawstring is removed.
Check if your jacket is a youth size 2/4, 6/8, 10/12, or 14/16 in red, royal blue, or green, as these were the recalled models.
Immediately remove the drawstring from the hood to eliminate the hazard, or contact Prairie Mountain for a refund.
