Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Hot Chocolate Inc. is recalling approximately 1,700 M.M.M. brand boys' two-color jogging suits. The jacket of these suits features a waist drawstring that can become snagged or caught in small spaces or vehicle doors, creating a dangerous entanglement risk for children. These 100% polyester suits were sold exclusively at dd's Discounts stores nationwide from December 2011 through January 2012 for about $10. Consumers should immediately take the recalled jackets away from children and either remove the drawstring or return the suit for a full refund.

Risk

The drawstring at the waist of the jacket can snag on objects like vehicle doors or playground equipment, potentially leading to the child becoming entangled or dragged. While no injuries have been reported, this design poses a significant safety hazard to children.

What You Should Do

  1. Check the label stitched into the back of the neck of the jogging suit for the brand name 'M.M.M.'
  2. Confirm the size and color: The recall affects sizes 4-16 in color combinations including blue and white, gray and blue, and gray and red.
  3. Verify the design: The pants are a solid color, while the jacket features a second color on the top portion and the top of both sleeves.
  4. Immediately take the recalled jacket away from your child.
  5. Remove the waist drawstring from the jacket entirely to eliminate the hazard, or return the product to any dd's Discounts store for a full refund.
