JW Crawford Recalls Children's Rain Ponchos Due to Strangulation Hazard
What's being recalled
Kid's rain ponchos
Units: About 1,300
This recall involves kids' waterproof hooded rain ponchos sold in clear, red and blue. The lightweight ponchos were sold in packs of 6 and 12. A white nylon drawstring is attached at the neck of the 40 inches tall by 60 inches wide ponchos. "One size fits all" and "Made in China" are printed on the front of the packaging.
The problem, in CPSC's words
A drawstring in the poncho's hood 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.
