March 10, 2010 – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in cooperation with Byer California DBA Amy Byer, Philly, of San Francisco, Calif., today announced a voluntary recall of Girls’ Cargo Pocket Jackets.
This recall involves girls’ brown cargo pocket jackets sold in sizes small through extra-large. Style number 2029G1J is printed on the tag inside the jacket.
The drawstrings on the neck and waist of the jacket can pose a strangulation or entrapment hazard to 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 600 jackets have been sold at Burlington Coat Factory, Bon Ton Stores and juvenile clothing retail stores nationwide from December 2008 through September 2009 for about $12.
No incidents or injuries have been reported.
Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.
If you or a loved one has been injured by a defective product, contact the Defective Product lawyers of the Gomez Law Firm today.
