Daiso is recalling children's rain ponchos with drawstrings because they represent a stangulation hazard.
The recalled plastic rain ponchos were sold in yellow or blue and have a drawstring in the hood. Japanese lettering is printed on the packaging.
The ponchos were sold by Daiso retail stores located in California and Washington states from February 2007 through November 2007 for $1.50. They were made in China.
Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings from the rain ponchos to eliminate the hazard.
