Plain-English summary

Kiddie Korral is recalling approximately 2,300 pink hooded sweatshirts featuring red ponies. The recall is due to a strangulation hazard posed by the drawstrings in the hoods. These drawstrings can become entangled or caught on playground slides, handrails, school bus doors, or other moving objects, creating a significant risk to children.

The affected hoodies are zippered front garments made of 100% polyester, available in sizes 2 through 12. They were sold in children's boutiques, gift shops, and other specialty retail stores nationwide from December 2012 through November 2014 for about $25. A label sewn into the neck seam reads "Kiddie Korral," and a label on the side seam displays RN#117026 and style number 327.

No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall. Consumers should immediately take the hoodies from children and remove the drawstrings to eliminate the hazard. The hoodies can be returned to the place of purchase for a full refund. For more information, consumers can contact Kiddie Korral at (800) 445-7195 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.kiddiekorral.com and click on the Recall tab.
