Plain-English summary

Umbro USA is recalling about 240 boys' nylon outerwear jackets. The jackets were sold in sizes medium to extra large, which can fit children through size 14. The "Umbro" brand name is printed on the front upper right side of the jackets, which feature a drawstring with toggles at the bottom. The jackets were available in five color combinations: black, black/royal, black/Tabasco, black/cedar, and navy.

The recall was issued because the jackets have a retractable elastic drawstring at the waist with a toggle that could become snagged or caught in small spaces or doorways. This design poses an entrapment hazard to children. No injuries have been reported in connection with these jackets.

The jackets were manufactured by Hong Kong Genexy Group Co. Ltd. of Hong Kong and distributed by Umbro USA of Beaverton, Oregon. They were sold exclusively at Ross Stores nationwide from April 2011 through January 2012 for about $8 each. Consumers should immediately remove the drawstring and return the jacket to Umbro for a full refund. For additional information, consumers can contact Umbro toll-free at (866) 217-6800 between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. PT Monday through Friday or visit www.umbro.com.
