Issue
Health Canada’s sampling and evaluation program has determined that these children’s upper outerwear products have a drawstring at the waist which poses a risk of snagging on play structures, fences or other objects and also poses a risk of entanglement. Additionally, if the drawstring gets caught in a vehicle, the child may be dragged.
As of October 4, 2023, the company has not received any reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of these products in Canada.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products and remove the drawstring at the waist to eliminate the hazard.
