Product Recall: girls’ drawstring jackets
Filed under: Recalls
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced the recall of some more drawstring clothing items due to their failure to meet CPSC guidelines (pdf) regarding such things. This time, it is Apollo Active Wear velour jackets, which were sold with matching pants.The jackets are hooded, zip up the front and have a front pocket. The word "DIVA" is prominently featured in rhinestones across the front of the jackets. They were sold in children's sizes small, medium, large, extra large and 4, 5, 6, and 6x and were available in blue, red and beige. On the jacket's neck tag you will find the words "Apollo Active Wear" and either style number 5033gk or 5033gg.
About 14,0000 of these sets were sold exclusively at Marshalls Stores nationwide from August 2007 through November 2007 for about $15.
If you have them, you should immediately remove the drawstring from the jacket's hood to eliminate the hazard. Of, if drawstringless hoodies aren't your thing, you can return it to the place of purchase or Apollo Jeans for a full refund.
