1. Recall Date: July 28, 2015
Recall Number: 15-198
Kyber Outerwear Recalls Children’s Sweaters Due to Strangulation Hazard http://www.cpsc.gov/en/Recalls/2015/Kyber-Outerwear-Recalls-Childrens-Sweaters/
Recall Summary
Name of Product: Children’s Animal-themed Sweaters
Hazard: The sweaters have a drawstring around the neck area that poses a strangulation hazard to children. Drawstrings can become entangled or caught on playground slides, hand rails, school bus doors or other moving objects, posing a significant strangulation and/or entanglement hazard to children. In February 1996, CPSC issued guidelines about drawstrings in children's upper outerwear. In 1997, those guidelines were incorporated into a voluntary standard. Then, in July 2011, based on the guidelines and voluntary standard, CPSC issued a federal regulation. CPSC's actions demonstrate a commitment to help prevent children from strangling or getting entangled on neck and waist drawstrings in upper outerwear, such as jackets and sweatshirts.
Remedy: Refund
Consumers should immediately take the recalled sweater away from kids and remove the drawstring, or return the sweater to Kyber Outerwear for a full credit for Kyber products.
Consumer Contact: Call Kyber collect at (613) 724-2579 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or email kyberouterwear@gmail.com or online at www.kyberouterwear.com and click on the link in the “Our Latest News” box in the bottom, left-hand corner of the homepage for more information.
