CPSC Recalls Children's Sweaters with Drawstrings

The Consumer Product Safety Commission and Kyber Outerwear, Ogdensburg, N.Y., have announced the recall of Children's Animal-themed Sweaters due to a strangulation hazard.

The sweaters have neck drawstrings, which pose a risk of becoming entangled on playground slides, hand rails, school bus doors and other moving objects. Having drawstrings on children's apparel also is in violation of federal law.
