Summary

Browning has recalled about 4,300 Youth Buckmark Junior Hoodie Sweatshirts sold exclusively at Academy Sports+Outdoors. These camouflaged polyester hoodies have drawstrings at the neck which can catch on items or become entangled, posing a serious strangulation risk to children. The sweatshirts feature a yellow embroidered logo on the front and were sold between August 2012 and October 2013. No injuries have been reported, and consumers can choose between removing the drawstrings themselves or returning the item for a full refund.

Risk

The drawstrings around the neck area can become caught or snagged on playground equipment, fences, or other objects, potentially strangling a child or causing an entanglement injury.
