BRAV USA Youth Jackets with Drawstrings Due to Strangulation and Entrapment Hazards
The notice asks people to return it — see below for how.
What’s wrong
The recalled jackets have a drawstring in the hood and a drawsting in the waist area that can become entangled or caught on playground slides, hand rails, school bus doors or other moving objects, posing a strangulation and/or an entrapment hazard to children.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Strangulation risk.
