Girls' Vests with Drawstrings Recalled by MIM-PI USA Due to Strangulation Hazard

What's being recalled

This recall involves girls' hooded sleeveless vests with drawstrings sold in sizes 2 through 10. The vests were sold in two colors: blue with pink flowers and black with white polka dots. Both styles have a fake fur trim around the hood and a black sweater-like knit trim at the armholes and waist. The vests have an interior zipper covered by an exterior flap closure and a sewn-in neck tag that reads "mim-pi."

The problem, in CPSC's words

The garments have a drawstring through the hood which can pose a strangulation hazard to children.

Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC

None reported.

What CPSC says to do

Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings from the recalled garments to eliminate the hazard. Consumers can also return the vests to the place of purchase for a store credit.
