Approximately 720 Bonded Apparel boys' long-sleeved zip-front hooded jackets are being recalled because they feature a drawstring in the hood. These jackets were sold in army green, aqua green, and black with a fake fur lining and various chest designs including the number '2', the letter 'B', the word 'ROCK', or 'AB Sportwear'. They were sold exclusively at dd's Discounts stores nationwide from August 2011 through December 2011 for about $8. While no injuries have been reported, consumers should immediately stop using the jackets and follow instructions for a refund or modification.
The drawstrings in the hood can become entangled or caught on objects, posing a serious strangulation hazard to children. Federal law prohibits drawstrings in children's hooded sweatshirts and jackets due to this risk.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled jacket from their child and remove the drawstring or contact Bonded Apparel for instructions on returning the product for a full refund.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
