Plain-English summary
Children's Apparel Network is recalling approximately 9,200 units of the "Young Hearts" brand girl's three-piece clothing sets. The sets include a pink vest, black pullover shirt, and knit pants in sizes 12 months to 6X. The recall is due to a hazard where the faux half-belt sewn into the side seams of the vest could become snagged or caught in small spaces or vehicle doors, posing an entanglement risk.
The affected clothing sets were sold at Conway, Citi Trends, Duckwall-Alco, and other children's apparel stores nationwide, as well as online at Amazon.com, from September 2012 to December 2012 for about $40. The "Young Hearts" brand name is printed on a label inside the shirt collar, and the pink vest features a black bow applique on the left front and a pink elastic belt with silver clasps.
No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall. Consumers should immediately detach the faux half-belt from the side seams of the vest to eliminate the hazard, or return the set to the store where purchased for a full refund. For more information, consumers can contact Children's Apparel Network at (800) 919-1917 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or online at www.childrensapparelnetwork.com.
