Basic Editions Girls' Clothing Sets Recalled

August 23, 2007
Basic Editions girls' clothing sets are being recalled by Kmart.

The recalled shirts have drawstrings at the waist. Children can get entangled or caught in a vehicle door and can be dragged, posing a serious risk of injury or death, in violation of federal guidelines.

The two Basic Edition-brand girls' sets have fully tunneled waist drawstrings and two-fer style layered shirts. One set has a light green screen print top with "Varsity Club Winning Attitude" text, over a white shirt, paired with turquoise cuff shorts. The second set has an orange screen print top with "Paradise University Girls Club" text, over a white shirt paired with light green knit shorts. Both sets were sold in the following girls' sizes: 4/5, 6/6X, 7/8, and 10/12.

The sets were sold exclusively at Kmart stores nationwide from March 2007 through May 2007 for between $10 and $13 per set. They were made in Egypt.

Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings to eliminate the hazard.
