Children's hooded sweatshirts with drawstrings
Recall Date: March 10th, 2011

Hazards: The hooded sweatshirts have drawstrings through the hood which can pose a strangulation or entrapment hazard to children.

Remedies: Refund
Consumers should immediately remove the drawstring from the sweatshirt to eliminate the hazard or return the sweatshirt to Sunsations for a full refund.
