Distributor: Winterbee Inc. d.b.a. Speedy, of Los Angeles, CA
Recall: June 10, 2009. Speedy has recalled approximately 80,000 children's hooded zipper jackets and hooded pullover jackets because they contain a drawstring through the hood, which poses a strangulation hazard. There have been no injuries reported. The jackets were sold in black, white, charcoal gray, heather gray, burgundy, green, royal blue, navy blue, baby blue, red, pink, brown in sizes S-XXL. 'Speedy' is printed on the inside collar. The recalled sweatshirts were sold only in the Los Angeles area from December 2004 through December 2008 for $10.
What to do: Remove the drawstrings from the hood and continue wearing the sweatshirt, or return to place of purchase or to Speedy for a refund.
