What happened

PUMA has recalled the USA V-Konstruct Training Jacket in youth sizes due to a hazardous drawstring at the waist. The drawstring has toggles and is not stitched to the back of the jacket, which means it could become snagged or caught in small spaces or vehicle doors, posing an entanglement risk. The recall affects model numbers 65110201, 65110202, 65110203, 65110204, and 65110205, which can be identified on the white care label located in a side seam near the bottom of the jacket, printed to the right of "(PVC Free)" and below "ART.NO." The jackets were available in youth small, medium, and large sizes in red/black, green/black, blue/black, navy/gray, and black/gray color combinations.

According to the recall notice, consumers who own these jackets should stop using them immediately and return the product to the retailer where it was purchased to receive a full refund.
