Name of Product: Children’s Hooded Jackets

Sold by: Burlington Coat Factory from September 2006 through April 2009 for about $17.

Remedy: Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings from the jackets to eliminate the hazard or return the garment to either the place of purchase or to Jason Evans Associates for a full refund.
