Trendset Originals Recalls Girls' Hooded Sweaters Due to Strangulation Hazard

Trendset Originals is recalling about 1,700 girls' hooded sweaters because the drawstrings pose a strangulation hazard to children.

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 (strangulation hazard) where injury has not yet been reported, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria in the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Trendset Originals is recalling approximately 1,700 units of 'Who's That Girl!' girls' hooded sweaters. The recalled garments are pink, blue, and white and feature a label reading "Who's That Girl!" with the R/N number 48829 printed on the inside neck tag. These sweaters were manufactured in Bangladesh and distributed exclusively at Gordman's Department stores nationwide from September 2005 through November 2005 for approximately $10 each.

The recall is being issued because a drawstring is threaded through the hood of the garment, which poses a strangulation hazard to children. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) notes that no injuries have been reported in connection with this product.

Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings from the sweaters to eliminate the hazard. Alternatively, they may return the hooded drawstring sweater to the store where it was purchased for a full refund. For additional information, consumers can contact Trendset at (800) 908-8308 between 9 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, visit www.trendsetny.com, or email [email protected].
