Kyber Outerwear Children’s Sweaters Due to Strangulation Hazard
The notice asks people to return it — see below for how.
What’s wrong
The sweaters have a drawstring around the neck area that poses 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 and/or entanglement hazard to children.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Strangulation risk.
