Girls' Hooded Sweatshirts Sold at Marshalls Recalled

March 5, 2008    
Girls' hooded sweatshirts imported by Rebelette International Trading Corp. and sold at Marshalls Stores are being recalled.

The sweatshirt jackets have a drawstring through the hood which poses a strangulation hazard to children.

The recalled hooded sweatshirts have a drawstring at the neck. They zip up the front, and are either blue with pink stripes on the sleeves with 'Red Hot Chili Steppers' printed on the front, or brown with blue stripes on the sleeves with 'Powder Puffs Touch League' on the front. The sweatshirts were sold in children's sizes small, medium, large, and sizes 4, 5, 6, and 6X. 'REBELETTE of Los Angeles' is printed on the collar label.

The sweats were sold at Marshalls Stores and specialty children's clothing retailers nationwide from July 2007 through September 2007 for about $15. They were made in China.

Consumers should immediately remove the drawstring from the hood to eliminate the hazard, or return the sweatshirt to either the place of purchase or to Rebelette International for a full refund.
