Product Recall: Children's jackets and hoodies
Filed under: Alerts & Recalls
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced the recall of about 3,000 Children's Sun Block Jackets and Hoodies due to their failure to meet CPSC guidelines (pdf) regarding drawstring clothing. These hoodies and jackets have drawstrings that can pose a strangulation hazard to children.
The hoodies and jackets were made in China for Coolibar Inc., of St. Louis Park, Minnesota and sold through Coolibar's catalog and online shop from March 2005 through April 2008 (hoodies) and from February 2008 through April 2008 (jackets) for between $25 and $40 each.
The recalled jackets were sold in children's sizes 2 through 12 in tan, stone, bayou blue, crisp blue, white, berry and citrus. The hoodies were sold in the same sizes in teal, kiwi, mandarin, aloe green, paprika, hibiscus, smokey blue, white, sherbet, cobalt, and stone.
If you have any of these clothing items, you should immediately remove the drawstring from the jacket or hoodie, which will eliminate the hazard. Alternately, you can contact Coolibar for instructions on returning it for a full refund. You can reach Coolibar by calling (866) 266-5422 between 7:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, and Saturdays between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT, by visiting their Web site, or by emailing them at recall@coolibar.com.
