The coats were sold in pink, red, blue, and vanilla with a faux fur cape, and in charcoal and vanilla with a faux fur trimmed cape. The specific hazard involves two faux pompoms attached to the ends of drawstrings that hang from the cape, which can pose a strangulation risk to young children.

The recalled coats were sold at Burlington Coat Factory, Famous Barr, Filene's Basement, Parisian, and other retail stores nationwide from September 2006 through September 2009 for between $70 and $100. The sewn-in neck tag reads "ROTHSCHILD SINCE 1881."
