Bubblegum USA recalls girls' hooded jackets with drawstrings sold at Burlington Coat Factory due to strangulation risk for children. Remove drawstring or return for refund.
The jackets have a drawstring through the hood which can pose a strangulation hazard to children.
Bubblegum USA is recalling girls' hooded jackets with drawstrings because the drawstring through the hood can cause strangulation in children. This is a serious hazard that requires immediate action to prevent injury.
The drawstring passes through the hood of the jacket, creating a risk that children could choke on it. This hazard is especially dangerous for small children who might put the drawstring in their mouth or around their neck.
Parents or caregivers of girls aged 7 to 16 who own the recalled jackets are most at risk. Children under age 5 are particularly vulnerable due to the strangulation hazard.
Look for jackets with a camouflage design and gray hood sold in girls' sizes 7 through 16. The tag inside the jacket says 'Bubblegum USA' and style number GS9548N-521G HZZ.
Take out the drawstring to eliminate the strangulation hazard immediately.
Return the jacket to Bubblegum USA or Burlington Coat Factory for a full refund.
Consumers should immediately remove the drawstring to eliminate the hazard. Consumers can also return the jacket to Bubblegum USA or Burlington Coat Factory for a full refund.
