Kyber Outerwear Recalls Children’s Sweaters Due to Strangulation Hazard

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Kyber Outerwear is recalling about 3,100 animal-themed hooded children's sweaters because they have a drawstring around the neck area. These sweaters were sold at independent children's stores nationwide and online between January 2010 and December 2013. The garments are either 100% wool or a 50/50 wool and acrylic blend, and can be identified by the company name on a tag in the left side seam, a patch on the left sleeve cuff, and a patch in the collar. Consumers should immediately stop using these sweaters and either remove the drawstring themselves or return the item for a credit.

Risk

The drawstring around the hood can become entangled or caught on playground slides, handrails, or school bus doors, which poses a serious risk of strangulation or entanglement to children.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your child's wardrobe for Kyber Outerwear animal-themed hooded sweaters with drawstrings at the neck.
  2. Look for identifying labels including a company name tag on the left side seam a few inches above the bottom hem, a patch on the left sleeve cuff, and a label inside the collar.
  3. Immediately take the recalled sweater away from children and remove the drawstring entirely to eliminate the hazard.
  4. Alternatively, you can return the sweater to Kyber Outerwear to receive a full credit for other Kyber products.
  5. Contact Kyber Outerwear at 613-724-2579 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, email kyberouterwear@gmail.com, or visit www.kyberouterwear.com for more information.
  6. Call the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772 for additional questions regarding this recall.
