MIM-PI USA LCC, of Orlando, Florida, today issued a recall of their girls’ hooded sleeveless vests. This recall affects about 80 units.
The vests pose a safety hazard due to the drawstring through the hood, which can strangle a child. In 1996, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission released guidelines to companies with suggestions on how to avoid strangulation hazards in garments.
Luckily no injuries were reported and the recall is in response to fears of potential injury.
Consumers have two options for fixing the problem: remove the drawstrings from the vest, eliminating the problem, or return the vest to the place of purchase for a store credit.
If your child has been injured by a safety hazard in a piece of clothing, such as an unsafe drawstring, contact the New Jersey product defect recall attorneys of Levinson Axelrod at 800-346-5529.
