A hoodie sold by The North Face as part of its teens' range has been recalled for safety reasons. The oversized hoodie poses a "serious risk of strangulation", the Office for Product Safety and Standards said.
The North Face sold the garment online, in its retail shops and in partner stores from July 31 this year. The recall, with a risk level of 'serious', says: "The product presents a risk of strangulation as there are drawstrings with free ends in the hood of the product. Drawstrings can become trapped during various activities of a child, leading to potential strangulation."
The 100% cotton hoodie has a model or type number of 7X4U. It comes with a front 'Kangaroo' pocket, a two-piece hood and a logo for The North Face on the front and back.
