Children’s Jackets and Hoodies Pose Strangling Hazard

Coolibar Inc., of St. Louis Park, Minnesota, announced the recall of 3,000 Children’s Sun Block jackets and hoodies. These jackets and hoodies where sold from February till April 2008 via Coolibar’s catalog and their site, Coolibar.com.

Coolibar HoodieWhile no incidents or injuries have been reported, The Consumer Product Safety Commision (CPSC) cited that the drawstring around the neck is a strangling hazard to Children. This stems from a set of guidelines that the CPSC introduced in 1996 to prevent children from strangling on clothes. Fortunatly, you can fix the problem by simply removing the drawstring from the jacket or hoodie. You may also get a full refund by contacting Coolibar at recall@coolibar.com or by phone from 7:30 a.m. till 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and Saturday from 9:00 am till 5:00 p.m
