RDG Global Girls’ Hooded Sweatshirts Due to Strangulation Hazard
Check whether yours is affected, then follow the instructions below.
What’s wrong
The hooded sweatshirts have a drawstring in the hood, which 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 or an entanglement hazard to children.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Strangulation risk.
