Lululemon recalls women's top for faulty elastic cord

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 25 (UPI) -- For the first time since its massive recall of yoga pants in 2013, fitness wear brand Lululemon has issued another recall, this time for certain women's tops.

Lululemon issued a warning about the elastic draw cord on a number of varieties of women's tops. The recall includes 133,000 units in the United States and 185,000 in Canada.

"When the elastic draw cord with a hard tip in the hood or around the neck area is pulled or caught on something and released, it can snap back, impact the face area and result in injury," a statement from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.

"Consumers should stop wearing the tops with the elastic draw cord and either remove the draw cord or contact lululemon to request a new, non-elastic draw cord with written instructions on how to replace the draw cord," the statement continued.

The varieties of tops include: Carry and Go Hoodie; Cool Down Jacket; Course-ette Jacket; Cozy Up Jacket; Dance Studio Jacket; Dance Sweat Shirt; Don't Hurry Be Happy Pullover; Gratitude Wrap; Necessity Jacket; Proactive Jacket; Refresh Snap Up; Run Sun Blocker Pullover; Run Track N Field Jacket; Run With It Jacket; Sanctuary Jacket; Savasana Tunic; Sing, Floss, Travel Jacket; Stow 'N Go Jacket; Stride Jacket; Summertime Tunic; Varsity Hoodie; Victory Jacket and Wear With All Jacket.
