Academy Sports + Outdoors is recalling approximately 6,600 Girls BCG Hooded Windsuits in sizes XS through L. These two-piece sets, consisting of a water-resistant jacket and pants, have drawstrings in the hood that pose a dangerous strangulation risk to children. The windsuits were sold in three color combinations: pink/black, gray/blue, and purple/light purple between September and October 2013. No injuries have been reported, and consumers can choose to either remove the drawstring or return the set for a full refund.
The drawstring in the hood can become entangled with playground equipment, fences, or other objects, posing a serious strangulation hazard to young children. Federal law prohibits drawstrings in the hoods of children's outerwear because of this risk.
Consumers should immediately remove the drawstring from the windsuits to eliminate the hazard, or return the garment to the place of purchase for a full refund.
