Understand the issue

The sweatshirts have drawstrings in the hood. Children can get entangled and strangle in the drawstrings, that can catch on playground equipment, fences or tree branches.

The fleece sweatshirts were sold in children's sizes 4-18 under the brand name, "Emergency Exit." The sweatshirts were manufactured in a variety of colors, including red, blue, grey and black. Each sweatshirt has an image on the chest of either a tribal design, dragon, motocross or skateboarding pattern.
