WASHINGTON, March 10 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of Byer California girls' jackets with drawstrings due to a strangulation hazard.
The girls' Cargo Pocket Jackets have a drawstring around the neck of the garment that poses a strangulation risk to children, the commission said in a statement.
About 600 jackets were imported from China by Byer California, doing business as Amy Byer, Philly, of San Francisco, Calif.
The jackets were sold nationwide from December 2008 through September 2009 for about $12 each.
Consumers were advised to remove the drawstring or return the jackets to the retailer for a full refund.
The coats were sold in sizes small through extra-large. The inside tag of the jackets designate style number 2029G1J.
Consumers can call 800-998-2937 for information.
