Hooey is recalling approximately 6,600 youth-sized sweatshirts because they feature drawstrings in the hood, which poses a serious strangulation risk to children. The recall affects 15 different styles of polyester and cotton sweatshirts sold in boys' and girls' sizes XS through XL between September 2017 and October 2019. While no injuries have been reported, consumers should immediately take these sweatshirts away from children and remove the drawstring to make the garment safe.
The hood drawstrings can become entangled or caught on playground slides, hand rails, school bus doors, or other moving objects. This creates a significant risk of strangulation or serious injury to children while they are playing or traveling.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled sweatshirts away from children and remove the drawstring to eliminate the hazard.
