of ConsumerAffairs
Maeli Rose of Arcadia, Calif., is recalling about 1,200 girl’s hoodies.
The hoodies have a drawstring inside the lining of the hood that surrounds the face which poses a strangulation hazard to children. Drawstrings 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.
This recall involves the girls’ blush hoodie sizes 2T-6X, made of 62% polyester, 35% cotton and 3% spandex. The garment comes in blush/pink and has a lace decoration strip around the hood opening. There is a white drawstring inside the hood lining that surrounds the face.
There is a zipper on the front with a pocket on each side. The pocket openings and sleeves are decorated with a lace strip.
The name Just Fab Girls is sewn into the label of the neck. There is also a label sewn into the side seam that reads “RN #137339” and “Made in China.”
The hoodies, manufactured in China, were sold at children’s boutiques and other specialty retail stores nationwide from July 2013, through December, 2013 for about $20.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled hoodie away from children and remove the drawstring to eliminate the hazard or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
