New York-based Kidz World Inc. is recalling about 5,000 sweatshirts, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Friday.
The CPSC said strings threaded through the hoods of the garments pose a strangulation danger to children. No related injuries have been reported.
The recall affects sweatshirts with the following style numbers:
- T78311.
- S78511.
- S78514.
- S78515.
- S78516.
- S72509.
- S74509.
The sweatshirts, which were made in Pakistan, Egypt and Korea, were sold in U.S. stores from October 2007 through November 2007 for about $15 US.
Consumers should remove the drawstring or contact the company at (212) 563-4949 for a refund.
