The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Urgent Gear Inc. have announced a voluntary recall of the Los Angeles-based company's Micros boys hooded jackets.
About 700 of the cotton garments, made in China, have a drawstring through the hood that can pose a strangulation hazard to children.
No injuries have been reported.
The jackets were sold exclusively at Nordstrom stores in the U .S. from November 2007 through December 2007 for about $50.
Consumers can contact Urgent Gear collect at (213) 741-9926 ext. 247 or visit urgentgear.com for more information.
