Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 560 Deezo brand boys', girls', and toddlers' zip-up hoodies have been recalled because they have drawstrings through the hood. Drawstrings in children's hoodies and jackets are dangerous as they can become caught on items like playground equipment or vehicle doors, leading to strangulation. These garments were sold exclusively online at Zulily.com from August 2012 to March 2013 for between $20 and $50. Consumers should stop using these sweatshirts and can either remove the drawstring or return the item for a full refund.

Risk

The drawstrings in the hood can become entangled or caught on equipment, posing a serious strangulation hazard to young children. While no incidents or injuries have been reported, federal regulations prohibit drawstrings in children's outerwear hoods due to this high risk.

What You Should Do

  1. Check the care label sewn into the garment's side seam for the following model numbers: 12501, 12502, 12503, 12504, 12505, 12506, 12507, 12508, 12509, 12801, 12802, 12803, 12804, 12806, 12807, 12808, 12809, or 12810.
  2. Verify if the garment hangtag has 'happyfashion4kids www.deezo.com.au' printed on it and check for designs such as a heart with an arrow, swirls, aliens, flowers, guitars, motor scooters, or circuit boards.
  3. Immediately take the garments away from children and stop using them.
  4. To eliminate the hazard, you may simply pull the drawstring out of the hood and continue using the sweatshirt.
  5. Alternatively, contact Zulily to return the garment for a full refund. You can reach Zulily toll-free at (877) 779-5615 between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. PT Monday through Friday (6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays), by email at service@zulily.com, or online at www.zulily.com by clicking on 'Contact Us/Product Recall'.
