Nordstrom 'Urgent Gear' Sweatshirts Recalled

March 11, 2008    
'Urgent Gear' hooded sweatshirts sold at Nordstrom are being recalled because of a drawstring that presents a strangulation hazard.

This recall involves Micros boys' 100% cotton jackets. The hooded sweatshirts have a drawstring through the hood. They were sold in black with a peace sign patch and a 'MCC Micros' patch on the chest, silver with a silver stitched design on the front, and gray with skulls on the front. Style numbers BZAT 718 (Black) / BZAT 722 (Silver) / BZAT 724 (Dark Gray) are printed on a label sewn into the jacket's inner side seam.

The sweatshirts were sold exlusively at Nordstrom stores nationwide from November 2007 through December 2007 for about $50. They were made in China.

Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings to eliminate the hazard or return the sweatshirts to Nordstrom or to Urgent Gear for a full refund.
