No deaths have been reported, but some experts speculate that the number of confirmed E. coli cases would be higher if more labs were capable of testing for that particular strain of the bacteria.

The product recall includes Romaine lettuce with a use-by date of May 12 or earlier.

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.

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.
