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

Plain-English summary

Trendset Originals LLC is recalling two styles of girls' jackets: the Shampoo brand denim jackets with pink hoods and sleeves, and the Marci & Me brand black or tan sweater jackets. The recall involves approximately 2,400 units of the Marci & Me brand and an unknown number of the Shampoo brand. These jackets were sold at Burlington Coat Factory stores nationwide from September 2007 through September 2009 for between $11 and $13. The Shampoo jackets were available in sizes 5/6, 7/8, 10/12, and 14/16, while the Marci & Me jackets were sold in sizes 7/8, 10/12, and 14/16.

The recalled jackets present a strangulation hazard because the hooded styles feature a drawstring through the hood. Additionally, the sweater jackets have a drawstring through the waist, which poses an entanglement hazard to children. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has reported no injuries associated with these products.

Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings from the jackets to eliminate the hazard. Alternatively, consumers can return the jackets to any Burlington Coat Factory store for a full refund. For more information, contact Trendset Originals at (800) 908-8308 between 9:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.trendsetny.com.
