Children's Hooded Sweatshirts Recalled

April 2, 2008
Brents-Riordan Inc. is recalling about 7,400 children's hooded sweatshirts and jackets. The garments have a drawstring through the hood, which can pose a strangulation hazard to children.

This recall involves the Youth Hooded Sweatshirt (item # 11037Y-39) and the Youth Insulated Bomber with Hood (item # 1113Y-39). The item number is found in a label located underneath the care label. The sweatshirts have a camouflage design and 'Photoflauge' is printed on them.

The items were sold at various retail stores nationwide from July 2007 through December 2007 for between $20 and $30. They were made in China.

Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings to eliminate the hazard or return the sweatshirts to either the place of purchase or Brents-Riordan for a full refund.
