Drawstrings can become tangled or caught on playground slides, hand rails, school bus doors or other moving objects, posing a significant strangulation hazard to children.
No incidents or injuries have been reported.
This recall involves 15 styles of youth-sized sweatshirts with the “Hooey” brand or logo and drawstrings in the hood.
The sweatshirts are polyester and cotton and generally have a single front pocket. They were sold in boys’ and girls’ sizes XS, S, M, L, XL.
A white size label has the word “Hooey” and “Made in China” and is located at the center back neck of the sweatshirts. A label in the side seam has the garment care instructions.
The sweatshirts were sold at Boot Barn, Orscheln’s, Cavenders and other western wear apparel stores from September 2017, through October 2019, for about $45.
