Plain-English summary
PUMA North America, Inc. is recalling approximately 5,000 units of the PUMA USA V-Konstruct Training Jacket with Pockets. The recall involves model numbers 65110201, 65110202, 65110203, 65110204, and 65110205. These jackets were sold in youth small, medium, and large sizes in various color combinations, including red/black, green/black, blue/black, navy/gray, and black/gray.
The recalled jackets feature an elastic cord with toggles at the waist that is not stitched to the back of the garment. This design creates a hazard where the drawstring could become snagged or caught in small spaces or vehicle doors, posing an entanglement risk to the wearer. The jackets were manufactured in Vietnam, Malaysia, and China.
The jackets were sold at clothing retail stores nationwide and online from January 2007 through January 2012 for between $12 and $55. Consumers should stop using these jackets immediately and return them to the retailer for a full refund.
