Plain-English summary

Louise Paris Ltd. is recalling approximately 13,000 units of "Me Jane" and "B-Hip Kids by Me Jane" girls' jackets with faux fur trim. The jackets, which were sold exclusively at Ross Stores nationwide from November 2011 through January 2012 for about $20, feature drawstrings at the waist that could become snagged or caught in small spaces or vehicle doors. This poses an entanglement hazard to young children.

The recalled items include two styles of polyfill jackets with faux-fur trim around the hoods. One style, labeled "Me Jane Kids," is fleece with front drawstrings with toggles and was sold in green, charcoal grey, and black. The other styles, labeled "Me Jane Kids" or "B-Hip Kids by Me Jane," are bubble jackets with drawstrings on the back and no toggles, sold in purple, black, pink, coffee, and cream. The jackets were available in youth sizes 4-6X and 7-16, as well as sizes S, M, and L. The garments were manufactured in China.

No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall. Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings from the jackets to eliminate the hazard. For a full refund, consumers should contact Louise Paris at (877) 537-7517 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or at [email protected].
