Bobens Trading recalls girls' hooded sweatshirts with drawstrings due to strangulation risk for children. Consumers should remove drawstrings or return for refund.
The hooded zip sweatshirts have a drawstring through the hood which can pose a strangulation hazard to children.
Bobens Trading is recalling girls' hood:ed sweatshirts with drawstrings because they can cause strangulation if children put them around their necks. This is a serious hazard for young children who might choke on the drawstring.
The drawstring can be easily looped around a child's neck, creating a strangulation hazard. Children under 5 are at higher risk due to their smaller neck size and tendency to put objects in their mouth.
Parents or caregivers of children under 5 years old who own the recalled sweatshirts are most at risk. Children who may accidentally tie the drawstring around their necks could be harmed.
Look for sweatshirts labeled 'Old Skool' with a neck seam label showing size. Check hang tags for style numbers GC5810, GV105, GV104, or GF254. These were sold exclusively at Burlington Coat Factory.
Take the drawstrings out of the sweatshirts to eliminate the strangulation hazard immediately.
Return the sweatshirts to the place of purchase or Bobens Trading Co. Inc. for a full refund.
Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings from the sweatshirts to eliminate the hazard or return the garment to either the place of purchase, or to Bobens Trading Co. Inc., for a full refund.
No, the drawstrings pose a strangulation hazard for children under 5, so they should not be used until the drawstrings are removed.
They were sold exclusively at Burlington Coat Factory.
The recalled style numbers are GC5810, GV105, GV104, and GF254.
