Maeli Rose Recalls Girls’ Hoodies Due to a Strangulation Hazard
http://www.cpsc.gov/en/Recalls/2016/Maeli-Rose-Recalls-Girls-Hoodies/
Recall Summary
Name of Product: Girl’s Hoodies
Hazard: The hoodies have a drawstring inside the lining of the hood that surrounds the face which 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 hoodie away from children and remove the drawstring to eliminate the hazard or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Consumer Contact: Maeli Rose at 626-701-7575 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. PT Monday through Friday or online at www.maelirose.com and click on the Recall tab located at the top of the homepage for more information.
