Lakeside Collection Recalls Fleece Pant Sets with Long Waist Drawstrings

Lakeside Collection is recalling 3,628 two-piece fleece pant sets because the long waist drawstrings on the jackets can catch on objects, posing a risk of injury or death.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the hazard description explicitly mentions potential injury or death, but the source text states that no injuries have been reported with this product.

Plain-English summary

Lakeside Collection of Lincolnshire, Ill., is recalling approximately 3,628 two-piece fleece pant sets. The recalled products are pink and royal blue and available in sizes 4 to 6X. The sets were sold via catalog from August 2003 to October 2003 for approximately $12.

The recall is due to a safety hazard involving the waist drawstring on the jacket. The drawstring is longer than 3 inches when the waist is expanded to its fullest width and features toggles and knots at the end of the un-tacked drawstring. This design can cause the drawstring to catch on protrusions, such as bus doors or handles. If a person is dragged by a vehicle, this can result in injury or death.

No injuries have been reported in connection with this product. Consumers should immediately pull the waist drawstrings out of the jacket to eliminate the hazard. For more information, consumers can call Lakeside toll-free at (866) 847-4327 or email [email protected].
