Plain-English summary

True Religion, of Los Angeles, Calif., is recalling approximately 150 children's fleece hoodies. The recalled products are black, pink, or blue and were sold in children's sizes XS, S, M, L, and XL. The hoodies feature a True Religion horseshoe design on the front and the name "True Religion" inside.

The recall is due to a drawstring threaded through the hood, which poses a strangulation hazard to children. No incidents or injuries have been reported.

The hoodies were sold exclusively by Neiman Marcus stores nationwide and through its website from April 2006 through July 2006 for about $106. Consumers should stop using the clothing immediately and return the item to a local Neiman Marcus store for a full refund. Online purchasers should contact Neiman Marcus for return instructions.
