The second set has an orange screen print top with "Paradise University Girls Club" text, over a white shirt paired with light green knit shorts. Both sets were sold in the following girls' sizes: 4/5, 6/6X, 7/8, and 10/12.

Sold Exclusively at: Kmart stores nationwide from March 2007 through May 2007.

Manufactured in: Egypt

Remedy: Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings to eliminate the hazard.
