Jewel brand girls hooded sweatshirts by Liberty Apparel |
| Description |
The Jewel brand girls zippered hoodie sweatshirts have various designs on the front, and were sold in two styles: the "Big Heart" zip-up long sleeve hoodie sweatshirts (style #J2173k/sk) in black, light pink and purple colors, and the "Small Stars" long sleeve hoodie jacket sweatshirts (style #J2174k/sk) in green, khaki, navy and orange colors. Both styles were sold in small, medium, large, extra-large sizes. |
| Problem |
The garments have a drawstring through the hood, which can pose a strangulation hazard to children. In February 1996, CPSC issued guidelines (pdf) to help prevent children from strangling or getting entangled on the neck and waist by drawstrings in upper garments, such as jackets and sweatshirts. |
