Maran Inc. is recalling Squeeze Kids Girl's Corduroy Jackets sold at TJ Maxx stores. The garments have a drawstring through the hood, which can pose a strangulation hazard to children.
The recalled garments are brown corduroy jackets with a pink hood and pink sequins on the front pockets. Squeeze Kids and style number 4JZ642FK are printed on the care label sewn into the back collar area of the garment. The sweatshirts were sold in girls sizes small (7/8), medium (10), large (12/14) and x-large (16).
The jackets, made in China, were sold exclusively at TJ Maxx retail stores nationwide during January 2007 for about $13.
Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings from the sweatshirts to eliminate the hazard, or return the garments to the place where purchased or to Maran Inc. to receive a refund.
