Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Children's Apparel Network is recalling approximately 9,200 Young Hearts brand three-piece girl's clothing sets because a faux belt on the vest can become snagged or caught in small spaces or vehicle doors. These sets include a pink vest, a black pullover shirt, and knit pants in sizes 12 months to 6X. They were sold nationwide at stores including Conway, Citi Trends, Duckwall-Alco, and online at Amazon.com from September 2012 to December 2012. No injuries have been reported, but consumers can either repair the vest themselves or return it for a refund.

Risk

The pink elastic belt is sewn into the vest's side seams and features silver clasps that can hook onto objects, small spaces, or car doors, potentially trapping or entangling a child.

What You Should Do

  1. Check the collar of the black pullover shirt for the 'Young Hearts' brand label to identify if you have the affected clothing set.
  2. Inspect the pink vest to see if it has a black bow applique on the left front and a pink elastic belt with silver clasps.
  3. Immediately detach the faux half-belt from the side seams of the vest to eliminate the entrapment hazard.
  4. Alternatively, stop using the set and return it to the store where it was purchased for a full refund.
  5. Contact Children's Apparel Network at 800-919-1917 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.childrensapparelnetwork.com and click on 'PRESS' for more information.
  6. Call the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772 for additional consumer safety questions.
