Children’s Hooded Sweatshirts Recalled by Brents-Riordan Inc. Due to
Strangulation Hazard
Brents-Riordan Inc. LLC announced a voluntary recall of hooded youth
sweatshirts and jackets. The garments have a drawstring through the hood, which can pose a strangulation
hazard to children. In February 1996, CPSC issued guidelinesto help prevent children from strangling or
getting entangled on the neck and waist by drawstrings in upper garments, such as jackets and sweatshirts.
This recall involves the Youth Hooded Sweatshirt (item # 11037Y-39) and the Youth Insulated Bomber with
Hood (item # 1113Y-39). The item number is found in a label located underneath the care label. The
sweatshirts have a camouflage design and "Photoflauge" is printed on them.
