Children’s Hooded Sweatshirts Recalled

Adio Footware has recalled about 300 Boy’s Hooded Zip Fleece Sweatshirts. The garments have a drawstring through the hood, which can pose a strangulation hazard to children. In February 1996, the CPSC issued guidelines to help prevent children from strangling or getting entangled on the neck and waist by drawstrings in upper garments, such as jackets and sweatshirts. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported thus far. The boy’s “Champ Custom” hooded zip fleece sweatshirt is white with blue pin-stripes on the front and red panels on the sides. ADIO is spelled out across the front. The sweatshirt was sold in boys’ sizes: small, medium, large and x-large. They were sold at Tilly’s and Bob’s stores nationwide from October 2007 through December 2007 for about $40. Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings from the sweatshirts to eliminate the hazard, and return the item to the place of purchase or to Adio Footwear for a full refund.
