JB Inc. Recalls Lili Gaufrette Children's Hooded Cardigans with Drawstrings Due to Strangulation Hazard
Children's hooded cardigans with drawstrings
Recall Date: January 6th, 2011
Type: Drawstrings
Units: About 16
Hazards: The cardigans have a drawstring through the hood, which can pose a strangulation hazard to young children. In February 1996, CPSC issued guidelines (which were incorporated into an industry voluntary standard in 1997) to help prevent children from strangling or getting entangled at the neck and waist by drawstrings in upper garments, such as jackets and sweatshirts.
Remedies: Refund
Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings from the cardigans to eliminate the hazard or return the product to JB Inc. for a full refund.
