Description
This recall involves 15 styles of youth-sized sweatshirts with the "Hooey" brand or logo and drawstrings in the hood. The sweatshirts are polyester and cotton. The sweatshirts generally have a single front pocket. They were sold in boys' and girls' sizes XS, S, M, L, XL. A white size label has the word "Hooey" and "Made in China" and is located at the center back neck of the sweatshirts. A label in the side seam has the garment care instructions.
Hazard
A drawstring in the sweatshirt hood poses a strangulation hazard to children. Drawstrings can become entangled or caught on playground slides, hand rails, school bus doors or other moving objects, posing a significant strangulation hazard to children.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately take the recalled sweatshirts away from children and remove the drawstring to eliminate the hazard.
