Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

The James Trading Group has recalled approximately 1,113 Croker Kids brand Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) licensed fleece hoodies. These children's sweatshirts feature a drawstring around the neck area which poses a serious strangulation hazard as the cords can become caught on playground equipment or vehicle doors. The hoodies have green, white, and blue color panels with "Ireland" printed on the back and were sold between January 2013 and December 2014. Consumers should immediately stop using these garments and either remove the drawstring or return the item for a full refund.

Risk

The drawstring in the hood 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 entanglement for children wearing the hoodie.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your child's clothing for the Croker Kids Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) hoodie with three color panels (green, white, and blue) and a full-front zipper.
  2. Verify if the hoodie is affected by checking for kid's sizes '2YR' through '12YR' on the neck tag and looking for model number GA2002 on the hang tag.
  3. Immediately take the jacket away from children and remove the drawstring from the neck area to eliminate the strangulation hazard.
  4. Alternatively, you may return the hoodie to the place of purchase for a full refund.
