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.
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.
Consumers should immediately take the garments away from children. Consumers can remove the drawstrings to eliminate the hazard or return the garments to Zulily for a full refund. Contact Zulily to obtain a return address label and instructions for returning the garment.
