Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

lululemon has recalled approximately 133,000 women's tops in the United States and 185,000 in Canada because the elastic draw cords in the hoods and neck areas can snap back and cause injuries. There have been seven reported incidents resulting in injuries to the face and eyes. The affected garments come in various colors and styles and were sold at lululemon stores and online between January 2008 and December 2014.

Risk

When an elastic draw cord with a hard metal or plastic tip is pulled or caught on an object and then released, it can snap back like a rubber band. This can cause the hard tip to strike the wearer in the face or eye, leading to impact injuries.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your lululemon tops for an elastic draw cord with a hard metal or plastic tip located in the hood or around the neck area.
  2. Identify if your garment is one of the affected styles: Carry and Go Hoodie, Cool Down Jacket, Course-ette Jacket, Cozy Up Jacket, Dance Studio Jacket, Dance Sweat Shirt, Don't Hurry Be Happy Pullover, Gratitude Wrap, Necessity Jacket, Proactive Jacket, Refresh Snap Up, Run Sun Blocker Pullover, Run Track N Field Jacket, Run With It Jacket, Sanctuary Jacket, Savasana Tunic, Sing, Floss, Travel Jacket, Stow 'N Go Jacket, Stride Jacket, Summertime Tunic, Varsity Hoodie, Victory Jacket, or Wear With All Jacket.
  3. Stop wearing any affected top that still contains the elastic draw cord.
  4. Either remove and discard the elastic draw cord yourself or contact lululemon to request a free, non-elastic replacement draw cord with written installation instructions.
  5. Contact lululemon at 877-263-9300 from 8 a.m. to 1 a.m. ET Monday through Friday, or 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET on weekends, or email gec@lululemon.com for more information.
  6. For additional questions, contact the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772.
