Plain-English summary
Bon-Ton Department Stores Inc. is recalling approximately 3,240 units of children's fleece hooded zip-up jackets with neck drawstrings. The recalled garments are for boys ages 8-20, made under the "Burnside" brand, and available in small, medium, large, and X-large sizes. The jackets feature various front designs and have "RN # 39209" printed on the tag. The products were manufactured in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan.
The recall is issued because the garments have a drawstring through the hood, which poses a strangulation hazard to children. The source text states that no injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.
The jackets were sold at Bon-Ton, Bergner's, Boston Store, Carson Pirie Scott, Elder-Beerman, Herberger's, and Younkers stores nationwide, as well as Parisian stores in the Detroit area, from August 2007 through October 2007. The selling price ranged between $18 and $30. Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings from the sweatshirts to eliminate the hazard or return the garment for a refund.
