Old Navy Recalls Boys’ Jackets
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.
Name of Product: Performance Fleece-Lined boys’ jackets
Units: About 17,200
Retailer: Old Navy LLC, of San Francisco, Calif.
Hazard: The jackets have a waist drawstring with a toggle that could
become snagged or caught in small spaces or doorways, which can pose an
entrapment hazard to children. In February 1996, CPSC issued guidelines
to help prevent children from getting entangled on waist by drawstrings
in upper garments, such as jackets and sweatshirts.
Incidents/Injuries: None reported.
Description: The performance fleece-lined shell jackets are hooded, zip
in the front, and have a drawstring at the waist. The jackets were sold
in black or blue in multiple children’s sizes. “Old Navy” is printed on
a label at the neck. Style number 507907 is printed on a white label
sewn into the side seam of the jacket.
Sold exclusively at: Old Navy stores nationwide and oldnavy.com from
August 2007 through November 2007 for about $30.
Manufactured in: Indonesia
Remedy: Consumers should return the jackets to any Old Navy store or, if
purchased online, contact Old Navy for instructions on returning the
jacket to receive a full refund. Consumers who return the jacket before
March 31, 2008 will also receive a $5 appreciation card. Consumers
choosing to keep the jacket should immediately remove the drawstring to
eliminate the hazard. Visit www.oldnavy.com for instructions on properly
removing the drawstring.
