Hazard: The hooded sweatshirts have drawstrings around the neck area that pose a strangulation or an entanglement hazard to young children.

CPSC’s actions demonstrate a commitment to help prevent children from strangling or getting entangled on neck and waist drawstrings in upper outerwear, such as jackets and sweatshirts.

Injuries: None reported
