Weeplay Kids is recalling girls' hooded sweatshirts that have drawstrings through the hood, which can cause strangulation if a child puts their hand inside the hood. This is a serious hazard for young children who might accidentally choke on the drawstring.
The drawstrings pass through the hood of the sweatshirt, creating a risk that a child could get their hand inside the hood and choke on the drawstring. This is a strangulation hazard that can occur if a child is small enough to fit their hand inside the hood.
Children who own or wear these sweatshirts are at risk, especially those under age 5 who might put their hands in the hood. Parents and caregivers should check if their child has one of the recalled styles.
Check for sweatshirts with Candy Queen or Akademiks brand names, style numbers Q375:19, A22090, A393343-3, A79405-226, or A79462-1. These were sold in sizes 2T through 16.
Immediately remove the drawstrings from the hood to eliminate the strangulation hazard.
