DISTRIBUTOR: Umbro USA, of Beaverton, Ore.
DESCRIPTION: This recall involves boys' nylon
jackets sold in sizes medium to extra large that can
fit children through size 14. "Umbro" is printed on the
front upper right side of the jackets. The bottom of
the jacket has a drawstring with toggles. The jackets
were sold in five color combinations: black,
black/royal, black/Tabasco, black/cedar, and navy.
In February 1996, CPSC issued
guidelines (pdf) about
drawstrings in children’s upper
outerwear. In 1997, those
guidelines were incorporated
into a voluntary standard. Then
in July 2011, based on the
guidelines and voluntary
standard, CPSC issued a
federal regulation. CPSC’s
actions demonstrate a
commitment to help prevent
children from strangling or
getting entangled on neck and
waist drawstrings in upper
outerwear, such as jackets and
sweatshirts.
