Product: Boys' Hooded Sweatshirts and Warm-Up Sets
Retailer: Burlington Coat Factory, of Burlington, NJ
Distributor: KOMAN Sportswear, of Carlstadt, NJ
Recall: July 30, 2009. Burlington Coat Factory has recalled approximately 13,300 sweatshirts and jackets that are part of warm-up sets because they have a drawstring through the hood, which poses a strangulation hazard to a child. There have been no injuries reported.
The recalled items are the boys' hooded sweatshirt, style #3650-B, that was sold in black, brown, charcoal, heather grey and navy; and the faux suede warm-up set, style #B9560ST that was sold in black, brown and khaki. The items both have the style number and the name 'KOMAN' printed on the hangtag on the center back neck and were sold in sizes S, M, and XL. The items were sold in Burlington Coat Factory stores nationwide from September 2008 through June 2009 for $13 (sweatshirts) and $20 (warm-up sets).
What to do: Remove the drawstring from hoods to eliminate the hazard, or return the recalled garment with the string to any Burlington Coat Factory for a refund or credit.
Contact: Burlington Coat Factory toll-free at (888) 223-2628 between 8:30 a.m. and 6p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
