What happened

Girls' hooded sweatshirts with the "ROXY GIRL" brand have been recalled because a drawstring threaded through the hood poses a strangulation hazard to children.

They were sold in girls' sizes SML through XL and can be identified by style number 484241 (some versions have an M, N, or NN after the number), which appears on the garment's hangtag and individual packaging label.

Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings from the sweatshirts.
