What's being recalled

Hooded swimwear jackets

Units: About 210

This recall involves the Little Marc Jacobs girl's hooded pull-over swimwear cover up jacket made of 100% cotton. The jackets are navy with red flowers and teal leaves and have a teal bunny appliqué and two buttons on the front. They were sold in girl's sizes 2 through 12. Little Marc Jacobs Swimwear, style number LM28616, Lot #1 and the size are printed on the black sewn-in label at the center back of the jackets.

The problem, in CPSC's words

The jackets have a drawstring around the neck area which poses a strangulation hazard to children. Drawstrings can become entangled or caught on playground slides, hand rails, school bus doors or other moving objects, posing a significant strangulation and/or entanglement hazard to children.

Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC

None reported.

What CPSC says to do

Refund

Consumers should immediately take the jackets away from children. Consumers can remove the drawstring from the jacket to eliminate the hazard or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
