The James Trading Group of Orangeburg, N.Y., is recalling about 1,113 kids GAA fleece panel hoodies.
The sweatshirts have a drawstring around the neck area which poses a strangulation hazard. 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 James Trading Group’s Croker Kids brand Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) licensed fleece hoodies. The hoodie has a full zippered front and 3-tone color panels of green, white and blue, with GAA embroidery on the left and right chest and on the hood. The word Ireland is printed on the back across the shoulders. The fabric is 75% cotton and 25% polyester.
They were sold in kids sizes “2YR” through “12YR” shown on a hang tag and on the tag sewn into the neck. Model number GA2002 is on a hang tag.
The hoodies, manufactured in China, were sold at Irish boutiques, specialty retail stores nationwide and online at www.thejtg.com from January 2013, to December 2014, for about $50.
Consumers should immediately take the jackets away from children and remove the drawstring from the jacket to eliminate the hazard or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Consumers may contact The James Trading Group at (800) 541-5004 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
