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

Plain-English summary

LTD Commodities, of Bannockburn, Ill., is recalling a two-piece fleece pant set with a long waist drawstring on the jacket. The recalled product is pink and royal blue and comes in sizes 4 to 6X. Approximately 11,187 units were sold via catalog sales from August 2003 to October 30, 2003, for about $12. The product was manufactured in India.

The recall is being issued because the waist drawstring on the jacket is longer than 3 inches when the waist is expanded to its fullest width. The drawstring features toggles and knots at the end and is un-tacked. This design can cause the drawstring to catch on protrusions, such as bus doors or handles, potentially causing injury or death if the person is dragged by the vehicle. No injuries have been reported with this product.

Consumers should immediately pull the waist drawstrings out of the jacket. For more information, consumers can call LTD Commodities toll-free at (866) 736-3654 or send an email to [email protected].
