About 2,300 children’s hooded fleece sweatshirts are being voluntarily recalled by La Jolla Sport USA Inc because their drawstrings could pose a strangulation hazard to children, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Tuesday.
The recall involves hooded fleece sweatshirts with style names “Love Goes” (style #39810012) and “Up and Under” (style #39202202). They were sold under the O’Neill brand name in child sizes S – XL. The RN #85773 is printed on the care label in the neck.
No incidents or injuries have been reported, the agency said.
The sweatshirts were told at Ron Jons’s Surf Shop, Dillards and McCaulous stores nationwide from June 2009 to August 2009 for about $65 US each.
Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings from the sweatshirts to eliminate the hazard, and return the garment to the place of purchase or to the firm for a full refund.
