February 18, 2010 – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in cooperation with Franshaw Inc., of New York, N.Y., today announced a voluntary recall of Children’s Hooded Jackets sold exclusively at Burlington Coat Factory.
This recall involves Blue Heart and Just a Girl brand children’s sweatshirts. The Blue Heart sweatshirts are olive and pink, and have style number 48052. The Just a Girl sweatshirts were sold in light blue, and have style number 48052. RN 87888 is printed in the center of the back neck. The sweatshirts were sold in sizes 4 to 6X.
