Plain-English summary

Trail Crest is recalling about 350 boys and girls hooded sweatshirts and jackets. The garments were sold in sizes x-small, small, and medium, featuring camouflage patterns on the shoulders and arms, drawstrings in the hood, and zippers at the neck. The items were available in birch and camouflage, pink and camouflage, and purple and camouflage color combinations. A tag with style number 29121 is sewn on the outside of the left sleeve, and an additional Trail Crest tag is located in the neckline.

The recall is being issued because the drawstrings through the hood or neck pose a strangulation hazard to young children. No injuries have been reported in connection with these products.

The garments were sold at Zulily.com and other stores nationwide from November 2012 to February 2013 for about $15. Consumers should immediately take the garments away from children. To eliminate the hazard, consumers can remove the drawstrings or return the garments to Trail Crest for a full refund. Contact Trail Crest at (800) 965-6550 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or email [email protected] for a return address label and instructions.
