Plain-English summary

Life is Good Inc. is recalling specific children's hooded sweatshirts, including the "Zippity Hoodie" and "Sherpa Full Zip Hoodie," due to a strangulation hazard. The recall involves approximately 400 units of girls' sweatshirts in brown, pink, or light blue, featuring "Life is Good" printed on the front. The garments were sold in children's sizes small to large.

The hazard exists because the sweatshirts have a drawstring through the hood, which can pose a strangulation risk to children. The company has not reported any injuries or illnesses associated with these products.

The sweatshirts were sold at independent retailers in Boston and Chatham, Massachusetts, and Flagstaff, Arizona, from July 2007 through August 2007 for between $40 and $50. Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings from the sweatshirts to eliminate the hazard. They can contact Life is Good toll-free at (888) 339-2987 or via email at [email protected] to receive a refund or store credit.
