Two-piece fleece pant set with long waist drawstrings on the jacket are being recalled. Several manufacturers and distributors sold the pant sets, mostly through catalog sales.
The 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.
The pant sets were distributed by the Lakeside Collection, abcDistributing and LTD Commodities,
The two-piece fleece pant set is pink and royal blue and comes in sizes 4 to 6X.
The pant sets were sold at catalog sales from August 2003 to October 2003 for about $12.
Remedy: Pull the waist drawstrings out of the jacket.
The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
