WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.
Name of Product: Girl's Hooded Sweatshirts
Units: About 3,700
Manufacturer: Allura Imports Inc., of New York, N.Y.
Hazard: The sweatshirts have a drawstring through the hood, which can pose a strangulation hazard to young children.

Incidents/Injuries: None reported.
Description: This recall involves girl's velour hooded sweatshirts with a zip front. The sweatshirts were sold as a part of a 2-piece set. "Major Diva" is printed on the front of the sweatshirts. The tag on the inside of the sweatshirts reads, "2b REAL." The sweatshirts were sold in hot pink, light pink, ivory and khaki, and in sizes 4, 5/6 and 6X.
Sold exclusively at: Burlington Coat Factory stores nationwide from October 2008 through July 2009 for about $11.
Manufactured in: China
Remedy: Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings from the sweatshirts to eliminate the hazard, or return the garments to either the place of purchase or to Allura Imports for a full refund.

Los nidos para bebés retirados del mercado infringen los requisitos de seguridad de la Norma de seguridad para productos de dormir para bebés de la CPSC, ya que suponen un riesgo de asfixia y de caída y atrapamiento para los bebés. Las fallas incluyen no tener un soporte y no cumplir con los requisitos de altura lateral, grosor de la almohadilla para dormir y aberturas laterales de tela. Los lados del producto son más cortos que el límite mínimo de altura lateral; el grosor de la almohadilla para dormir supera el límite máximo; y un bebé podría caerse de una abertura cerrada a los pies de la tumbona o quedar atrapado.
Además, los diseños de los nidos para bebés con almohadas para la cabeza infringen la prohibición de las camas inclinadas para bebés de la Ley de Sueño Seguro para los Bebés de 2021 porque sus superficies para dormir están inclinadas más de diez grados. Hubo muertes de bebés en camas inclinadas como consecuencia de que los bebés se voltearon de estar boca arriba a yacer sobre su estómago o lado sin ninguna sujeción, o en otras circunstancias.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products has contributed to a decline in the rate of injuries associated with consumer products over the past 50 years.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
