Children’s Hooded Sweatshirts Recalled
Alpha Industries has voluntarily recalled approximately 900 children’s hooded sweatshirts because the drawstrings in the hoods can be a strangulation hazard. There have been no reported injuries.
The sweatshirts involved include children’s hooded, zippered cotton sweatshirts with drawstrings through the hood. The sweatshirts are olive green with an eagle on the front and contain the words “Hero by Choice” and “Alpha”. They were sold in sizes 2T, 3T, 4T, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10/12. The words “Alpha Industries” and “RN#35569” are printed on a label on the neck of the sweatshirt.
The sweatshirts were sold in department stores and juvenile product stores nationwide between August 2009 and February 2010 for $28-$42.
If you have one of these sweatshirts, you should immediately remove the drawstrings to eliminate the strangulation hazard. You can also return the sweatshirt to the place of purchase or Alpha Industries for a full refund.
Contact Alpha Industries at 866-631-0719 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday or visit the firm’s website at www.alphaindustries.com.
