Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

BRP is recalling about 3,100 Ski-Doo and Can-Am kids' hooded sweatshirts sold in sizes 2 through 12. These hoodies feature a drawstring in the neck area that can become caught on playground equipment or moving objects, posing a serious strangulation or entanglement risk to children. The cotton/polyester blend garments were sold in black, charcoal gray, heather, yellow, and raspberry colors at BRP dealerships and online between April 2007 and December 2014. No injuries have been reported, and consumers can choose to remove the drawstring or return the garment for a full refund.

Risk

The drawstring in the hood can get tangled or caught on items like playground slides, handrails, or school bus doors. This creates a significant danger where the child can be strangled or severely entangled by the garment's cord.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately take the recalled hoodie away from children and stop using it until the hazard is removed.
  2. Check the white care label sewn into the neck or side of the garment for the following affected style numbers: 286485, 453215, 453265, 453320, 453321, 453375, 453376, 453464, 453618, 453658, 453660, 453661, 453707, or 453708.
  3. To eliminate the hazard yourself, pull the drawstring completely out of the hood and discard the string.
  4. Alternatively, you can return the hoodie to any authorized BRP dealer to receive a full refund.
  5. Contact BRP toll-free at (888) 272-9222 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.can-am.brp.com or www.ski-doo.com for more information.
