Jewel Girls' Hooded Sweatshirts

December 21, 2007
Jewel brand girls' hooded sweatshirts are being recalled. The garments have a drawstring through the hood, which can pose a strangulation hazard to children.

The Jewel brand girls’ zippered hoodie sweatshirts have various designs on the front, and were sold in two styles: the “Big Heart” zip-up long sleeve hoodie sweatshirts (style #J2173k/sk) in black, light pink and purple colors, and the “Small Stars” long sleeve hoodie jacket sweatshirts (style #J2174k/sk) in green, khaki, navy and orange colors. Both styles were sold in small, medium, large, extra-large sizes.

They were sold at Marshalls and other specialty children’s clothing retailers nationwide from August 2007 through November 2007 for about $10, and were made in India.

Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings to eliminate the hazard or return the sweatshirts to either the place of purchase or Liberty Apparel for a full refund.
