Plain-English summary

Hurley International, of Costa Mesa, Calif., is recalling about 330 boy's windbreaker jackets with drawstrings. The jackets are black or gray and were sold in youth sizes up to size 20. The "HurleyCo" brand is stitched on the upper left outside of the jacket, and the style number BJ06GS is printed on a label sewn inside the left side seam.

The jackets have a drawstring through the hood, which poses a strangulation hazard to children. No incidents or injuries have been reported. The recalled jackets were sold at various department and specialty stores nationwide from July through early December 2005 for between $50 and $60.
