Plain-English summary

LA Fashion Hub is recalling approximately 2,300 girls' winter jackets with drawstrings through the hoods. The jackets were sold exclusively at dd's Discounts stores nationwide from January 2011 through January 2012 for about $10. The recalled jackets are available in girls' sizes 4T, 5, 6, and 6X in pink, turquoise, red, and yellow. They are made of polyester with polyester fill and feature front zipper, snap, or Velcro closures.

The recall was issued because the drawstrings through the hoods pose a strangulation hazard to children. No injuries have been reported in connection with these products.

Consumers should immediately remove the drawstring to eliminate the hazard or return the jacket to a dd's Discounts store for a full refund.
