Foursquare Jackets Get The Recall

by The Editors on December 31, 2008

Foursquare Outerwear has voluntarily recalled 1,300 hooded jackets after it was discovered that they could be dangerous to kids.

The jackets have a drawstring through hood which poses a strangulation hazard to children. In February 1996, CPSC issued guidelines (pdf) to help prevent children from strangling or getting entangled on the neck and waist by drawstrings in upper garments, such as jackets and sweatshirts.

No injuries have been reported.
