Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

LANY Group is recalling about 210 'Goddess' brand girls' hooded sweatshirts because they have a drawstring in the hood. Federal law prohibits drawstrings in children's sweatshirts because they can get caught on playground equipment, fences, or other objects. These red zip-up sweatshirts feature gold hearts, stars, and crowns and were sold in sizes 4T through 12. They were sold exclusively at dd's Discounts stores nationwide between October 2011 and January 2012 for about $6. No injuries have been reported, but consumers should act now to remove the hazard.

Risk

The drawstring in the hood poses a strangulation hazard to children if it becomes snagged on items like playground equipment or vehicle doors.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify the affected sweatshirt by checking for the 'Goddess' label printed at the neck and verifying the size is between 4T and 12.
  2. Check the hood for a drawstring; the affected sweatshirts are red with gold patterns of hearts, stars, and crowns.
  3. Immediately remove the drawstring from the sweatshirt to eliminate the strangulation hazard.
  4. Alternatively, you may return the sweatshirt to any dd's Discounts store to receive a full refund.
