CPSC, LTD Commodities Announce Recall of Fleece Pants with Long Waist Drawstring on Jacket

Reported: December 2, 2003 Initiated: December 2, 2003 #04519

Product Description

The two-piece fleece pant set is pink and royal blue and comes in sizes 4 to 6X.

Reason for Recall

Waist drawstring on jacket is longer than 3 inches when the waist is expanded to its fullest width, and there are toggles and knots at the end of the un-tacked drawstring. This can cause the drawstring to catch on protrusions (such as bus doors or handles), potentially causing injury or death if the person is dragged by the vehicle.

Remedy

Pull the waist drawstrings out of the jacket.
