Junk Food recalls children's hooded sweatshirts with drawstrings due to strangulation risk. Remove drawstrings immediately to eliminate hazard; returns for refund available.
The hooded sweatshirts have a drawstring at the neck which can pose a strangulation hazard to children.
Junk Food is recalling children's hooded sweatshirts with draw: the drawstrings can cause strangulation if a child puts them around their neck. This is serious for young children who might use the drawstrings as a choking hazard.
The drawstrings can be easily looped around a child's neck, creating a strangulation hazard. Children may pull the drawstrings to their necks while playing, leading to suffocation if the strings become tight.
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 the "Junk Food" logo sewn into the neck of the sweatshirt. These sweatshirts were sold in children's sizes small, medium, large, and extra-large with various print designs.
