Plain-English summary

Gogo Sports Inc. is recalling about 2,400 units of children's hooded sweatshirts with drawstrings. The recall involves three styles: zippered sweatshirts in sizes XS through 3XL; HAY style sweatshirts in black, navy, light gray, charcoal gray, and pink; and JMK style reversible microfiber sweatshirts with polar fleece lining in black. The sweatshirts feature a sewn-in neck tag reading "Gogo Sports" and city names printed across the front.

The drawstrings through the hood pose a strangulation hazard to children. The company has not reported any injuries associated with these products. The sweatshirts were manufactured in China and sold at clothing retail stores in California, Colorado, Hawaii, and New Mexico from January 2008 through December 2009 for between $14 and $27.

Consumers should immediately remove the drawstring from the sweatshirts to eliminate the hazard. For additional information, consumers can contact Gogo Sports toll-free at (877) 785-1915 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit the company's website at www.gogofleece.com.
