Kyber Outerwear USA of Ogdensburg, N.Y., is recalling about 3,100 children’s animal-themed sweaters
The sweaters have a drawstring around the neck area that can become entangled or caught on playground slides, hand rails, school bus doors or other moving objects, posing a significant strangulation and/or entanglement hazard to children.
No incidents or injuries have been reported.
These animal-themed, hooded children’s sweaters are 100% wool when produced in Nepal, and 50% wool and 50% acrylic when produced in Bangladesh. The sweaters have a tag sewn on the left seam several inches above the hem with the company name and the place of origin. The company name is also located on a patch on the left sleeve at the cuff and on a patch in the collar.
The sweaters were sold at independent children’s stores nationwide and online from January 2010, through December 2013, for between $10 and $50.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled sweater away from kids and remove the drawstring, or return the sweater to Kyber Outerwear for a full credit for Kyber products.
Consumers may contact Kyber collect at (613) 724-2579 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (ET) Monday through Friday, or by email at kyberouterwear@gmail.com.
