Coolibar Hoodies Pose Strangulation Risk

Jackets and Hoodies with Drawstrings Recalled

About 3000 Children's Sun Block jackets and hoodies manufactured by Coolibar Inc, of Louis Park, MN., are being recalled. The garments have a drawstring through the hood, posing a strangulation hazard to children. In February 1996, CPSC issued guidelines to help prevent children from strangling or getting entangled on the neck and waist drawstrings in upper garments, such as jackets or sweatshirts.

The recalled jackets were sold in children's sizes 2 through 12, in the following colors: tan, stone, bayou blue, crisp blue, white, berry, and citrus. The hoodies were sold in teal, kiwi, mandarin, aloe green, paprika, hibiscus, smokey blue, white, sherbet, cobalt, and stone.

Both the jackets and hoodies were sold through Coolibar's catalog and www.coolibar.com from March 2005 through April 2008 (hoodies) and from February 2008 through April 2008 (jackets) for between $25 and $40.
