CPSC, abcDistributing Announce Recall of Fleece Pants with Long Waist Drawstring on Jacket

Why was CPSC, abcDistributing Announce Recall of Fleece Pants recalled?

Waist drawstring on jacket is longer than 3 inches when the waist is expanded to its fullest width, and there are toggles and knots at the end of the un-tacked drawstring. This can cause the drawstring to catch on protrusions (such as bus doors or handles), potentially causing injury or death if the person is dragged by the vehicle.

What should I do if I have this product?

Pull the waist drawstrings out of the jacket. Contact: For more information, call abcDistributing at (305) 944-6971 or visit their Web site at www.abcdistributing.com
