The Hazard
STRANGULATION
Lola + The Boys is recalling certain hooded clothing for kids because the drawstrings can be a strangulation hazard. The drawstrings violate federal safety rules for children’s outerwear. This means the drawstrings pose a serious risk of injury or even death to children.
About 620 units are affected. No injuries have been reported.
Technical Breakdown
The government has specific rules about drawstrings on kids’ clothing, especially around the neck and hood. These rules are in place because drawstrings can get caught on things like playground equipment, doors, or other objects. If a drawstring gets caught, it can pull tightly around a child’s neck, leading to strangulation. The clothing in this recall has drawstrings that violate these safety rules, making them dangerous for kids to wear.
Because of the risk, it’s important to stop using the recalled clothing immediately. Check the clothing you have against the descriptions and pictures provided to see if it’s included in the recall. If you have any of the recalled items, take action to remove the drawstrings or return the clothing for a refund or other remedy.
