March 10, 2010 – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in cooperation with Regaliti Inc., of New York, N.Y., today announced a voluntary recall of Girl’s Hooded Jackets with Drawstrings sold exclusively at Burlington Coat Factory.
This recall involves girl’s cropped jackets in a velvet-like material with a hoodie that has a drawstring. The jackets were sold under the Betty Blue brand name in pink, red, blue and brown, and in children’s sizes small through XL. Betty Blue Girls is printed on the hangtag on the neck.
The jackets have a drawstring through the hood, which can pose a strangulation hazard to young children. In February1996, CPSC issued guidelines (pdf) (which were incorporated into an industry voluntary standard in 1997) to help prevent children from strangling or getting entangled on the neck and waist drawstrings in upper garments such as sweatshirts and jackets.
Approximately 3,600 jackets have been sold at Burlington Coat Factory stores nationwide from November 2007 through September 2009 for about $4.
Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.
