JW Crawford is recalling approximately 1,300 Wealers brand kids' waterproof hooded rain ponchos. These lightweight ponchos, sold in clear, red, and blue colors, contain a white nylon drawstring at the neck that poses a serious danger to children. The ponchos were sold in packs of 6 and 12 through Amazon.com and Wealers.com between May 2016 and July 2016. To fix the issue, consumers can either remove the drawstring themselves to eliminate the hazard or return the product for a full refund.
The drawstring in the poncho's hood can become entangled or caught on playground equipment, handrails, school bus doors, or other moving objects. This creates a significant risk of strangulation or entanglement for children wearing the garment.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled ponchos away from children and remove the drawstring to eliminate the hazard or return the poncho to the firm for a full refund.
