WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall of about 1,800 Bonafide Love-brand hooded children's sweatshirts due to a safety hazard.

The commission said the sweatshirts, manufactured in China and distributed by Seventy Two Inc. of La Puente, Calif., have a drawstring through the hood that poses a strangulation hazard.

The recall involves Bonafide Love children's hooded sweatshirts that are reversible and come in two styles. The hearts and stars style is green and in the front has a heart surrounded by pink stars. On the reverse, it is hot pink with light pink dots. The Robots style is gray with drawings of robots and pink hearts. On the reverse, it has a zebra-like pattern with gray and black stripes.

"Bonafide Love" is printed on a label sewn into the collars.

The sweatshirts were sold exclusively at Nordstrom retail stores nationwide in November and December 2007 for about $40.

Consumers are advised to remove the drawstrings to eliminate the hazard or return the sweatshirts to Nordstrom or Seventy Two for a full refund. Consumers wishing additional recall information may call Seventy Two collect at 626-330-8027, Ext. 170.
