Hazard: The jackets have drawstrings through the hood and at the waist. Children can get entangled in the drawstrings that can catch on playground equipment, fences or tree branches.

From 1985 through June 2008, CPSC received reports of 27 deaths and 70 non-fatal incidents involving the entanglement of children's clothing drawstrings.
Incidents/Injuries: None reported.
Description: The cotton knit and woven hooded jackets have a drawstring through the hood and waist. They were sold in sizes 12 months through size 10 in a variety of solid colors and prints. “Young Colors” is sewn into the jacket tag located at the neck.
Sold at: Specialty children's stores nationwide from April 2004 through September 2007 for about $45.
Manufactured in: Peru and Indonesia
Remedy: Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings from the jacket to eliminate the safety hazard.
