Recalled product: Active Apparel Recalls Boys Fission Zipper Hooded Sweatshirts Due to Strangulation Hazard

The hazard

The sweatshirts have drawstrings around the neck area which pose a strangulation hazard to children. Drawstrings can become entangled or caught on playground slides, hand rails, school bus doors or other moving objects, posing a significant strangulation or an entanglement hazard to children.

What to do

Consumers should immediately take the sweatshirt away from children. Consumers can remove the drawstring from the sweatshirt to eliminate the hazard or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund and a $10 gift card.
