Plain-English summary
Haselson International Trading Inc. is recalling approximately 23,000 children's hooded sweatshirts with drawstrings. The recall involves sweatshirts in sizes 4 through 7 and S (8) and M (10-12), sold in various colors and prints. The garments feature the brand names Kani Gold or Road Block printed on the neck tag inside the garment.
The recall is being issued because the sweatshirts have a drawstring through the hood, which poses a strangulation hazard to children. The company has not reported any injuries associated with the product.
These sweatshirts were sold exclusively at Burlington Coat Factory stores nationwide from July 2006 through September 2009 for between $6 and $30. Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings from the sweatshirts to eliminate the hazard. Alternatively, consumers can return the sweatshirts to Burlington Coat Factory or Haselson for a full refund.
