Approximately 620,000 units of Bernat brand Tizzy Yarn are being recalled because the yarn can unravel or snag in finished knit or crochet items, forming loops that pose an entanglement hazard to young children. The company has received two reports of children becoming entangled in yarn blankets made from this product. The recall includes all 11 colors of the 3.5-ounce yarn skeins sold at Jo-Ann Stores, Michaels, and other craft retailers between April 2012 and February 2015. Consumers should immediately stop using the yarn and any finished projects made from it for a full refund.
In finished items like blankets or sweaters, the yarn can snag or unravel to form long loops. These loops can entangle young children, which may lead to injury or strangulation; two such entanglement incidents have already been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the yarn or finished yarn projects, keep them out of the reach of young children, and contact Bernat for a full refund.
