Manufacturer: Gogo Sports Inc., of San Francisco, Calif.
Hazard: The sweatshirts have a drawstring through the hood that can pose a strangulation hazard to children.

The HAY style sweatshirts were sold in black, navy, light grey, charcoal grey and pink. The HKK style sweatshirts were sold in black, navy, light blue, light grey, pink and red. The JMK sweatshirts are reversible microfiber with polar fleece lining and a removable hood with elastic or retractable drawstrings. Style JMK was sold in black only. The sweatshirts have sewn-in neck tag that reads “Gogo Sports” and city names printed across the front of the garment.
Sold at: Clothing retail stores in California, Colorado, Hawaii and New Mexico from January 2008 through December 2009 for between $14 and $27.
Manufactured in: China
Remedy: Consumers should immediately remove the drawstring from the sweatshirts to eliminate the hazard.
