RMP Athletic Locker has recalled approximately 133 Ripzone Boys' Hooligan hoodie jackets in the U.S. and over 2,000 in Canada because they have drawstrings around the neck area. These drawstrings can become entangled or caught on objects like playground slides or school bus doors, posing a serious strangulation and entanglement hazard to children. The jackets are black with neon blue stripes and were sold in youth sizes small and medium between August and October 2013 for about $112. Consumers can either remove the drawstring immediately or return the jacket for a full refund.
The drawstring around the neck area can snag on playground equipment, handrails, or moving vehicle doors, which can lead to strangulation or serious entanglement injuries. While no incidents have been reported, the presence of neck drawstrings in children's outerwear is a known safety hazard.
Consumers should immediately remove the drawstring from the garment to eliminate the hazard or return the garment to the place of purchase for a full refund.
