Understand the issue

The sweaters have drawstrings through the hood. Children can get entangled in the drawstrings, which can catch on playground equipment, fences or tree branches.

The cotton knit sweaters are cream colored with a blue stripe at the wrists and waist, a blue ball on the hood, and blue buttons. There is a drawstring through the hood with pom-poms at the ends. The sweaters were sold in children's size 2T under the brand name "Empress Arts." "Empress Baby" is sewn into the sweater's tag.
