Youth Sweatshirts with Drawstrings Recalled for Strangulation Hazard
Allura Imports is recalling about 120 youth sweatshirts with drawstrings due to risk of strangulation. The drawstrings can catch on objects and cause serious injury or death to children.
What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly identifies a risk of serious injury or death from strangulation, and the sweatshirts violate federal regulations for children's upper outerwear. Although no injuries have been reported, the hazard involves a high-risk mechanism (strangulation) affecting a vulnerable population (children). This meets the Severe criterion for a risk-of-harm product where injury risk is significant even without current reported harm.
