Plain-English summary
Norton McNaughton of Squire, Inc. is recalling approximately 157,300 units of Energie brand girls' hooded sweaters.

The products were sold at various retailers nationwide from July 2004 through November 2004 for between $15 and $25. The sweaters were manufactured in South Korea, Taiwan, and China.
The recall is being conducted because the hooded sweaters have drawstrings, which pose a strangulation hazard to children. The company has not reported any injuries associated with the product.
