Frans: Blue Heart and Just a Girl children's hooded sweatshirts with drawstrings pose strangulation risk for young children. Recall includes specific styles and sizes sold at Burlington Coat Factory.
The jackets have drawstrings through the hood which can pose a strangulation hazard to young children.
Blue Heart and Just a Girl children's hooded sweatshirts with drawstrings are recalled because they can cause strangulation if young children put them around their necks. The hazard is serious enough that consumers must remove the drawstrings immediately to prevent injury.
The drawstrings can be easily looped around a child's neck, creating a tight constriction that could lead to strangulation. This hazard is particularly dangerous for small children who may not understand the risk.
Young children who own or wear these sweatshirts are at risk. Parents and caregivers of children under age 5 are most vulnerable due to the strangulation hazard.
Look for Blue Heart sweatshirts in olive or pink with style number 48053, or Just a Girl sweatshirts in light blue with style number 48052. The RN 87888 label is printed on the back neck.
Take out the drawstrings from the hood to eliminate the strangulation hazard immediately.
