Hot Kids recalls children's hooded sweatshirts and jackets with drawstrings that pose strangulation risk. Remove drawstrings or return for refund to eliminate hazard.
The children's hooded sweatshirts have a drawstring through the hood and/or waist that can pose a strangulation or entrapment hazard to children.
Hot Kids is recalling children's hooded sweatshirts and jackets sold in sizes 2-20 that have drawstrings through the hood or waist. These drawstrings can cause strangulation or entrapment if a child puts them around their neck.
The drawstrings can be pulled through the hood or waist, allowing children to tie them around their necks. This creates a strangulation hazard if the child is unable to untie the drawstring.
Parents and caregivers of children who own these sweatshirts or jackets are most at risk. Children under age 20 are particularly vulnerable due to the drawstring design.
Check for brand labels with 'MJC', 'Hot Kids', or 'MJ Collection' printed on the neck. The items are sold in sizes 2 through 20 and include specific style numbers like 805, 806, 903, and others listed in the recall notice.
