Plain-English summary
Junk Food Clothing Co. of Los Angeles, Calif., is recalling approximately 24,000 children's pullover and zippered hooded sweatshirts with drawstrings. The recalled garments were sold under the "Junk Food" brand name in various print designs and children's sizes small, medium, large, and extra-large. The "Junk Food" logo is sewn into the neck of the garment.
The recall is being conducted because the hooded sweatshirts have a drawstring at the neck, which poses a strangulation hazard to children. The company has not reported any injuries associated with the product.

Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings from the sweatshirts to eliminate the hazard. Consumers can also return the product to the store where it was purchased for a refund.
