A drawstring through the hood can pose a strangulation hazard
of ConsumerAffairs
Kiddie Korral of Dallas, Texas, is recalling about 2,300 pink pony hoodies.
A drawstring through the hood of the hoodies can pose 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 Kiddie Korral girl’s pink hooded sweatshirts with red ponies and a drawstring through the hood. The zippered front hoodies have two front pockets, are made of 100% polyester and were sold in sizes 2 through 12. A label sewn into the garment’s neck seam reads “Kiddie Korral” and a label sewn into the side seam has RN#117026 and style number 327.
The sweatshirts, manufactured in China, were sold at children’s boutiques, gift shops and other specialty retail stores nationwide from December 2012, through November 2014, for about $25.
Consumers should immediately take the hoodies from children and remove the drawstring to eliminate the hazard. Consumers can return the hoodies to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Consumers may contact Kiddie Korral at (800) 445-7195 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
