Gardena firm's hooded Pro Club sweatshirts recalled
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall of hooded sweatshirts today because the drawstring in the hood poses a strangulation hazard to children.
About 7,000 of the Pro Club hooded sweatshirts are being recalled; all have a tag inside the collar with the registered number 100418.
Pro Club hooded sweatshirts were sold in Los Angeles and Las Vegas in November and December 2008 for about $19. The sweatshirts came in black, navy and gray.
The safety commission urges consumers to “immediately remove the drawstrings from the sweatshirts to eliminate the hazard” or return the sweatshirt with a drawstring to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Consumers also get a full refund by returning it to the company that distributes the product, Gardena-based Propac Distributing.
