Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Montgomery Wards recalled boys jackets and sweatshirts sold under the brand name North West Blue due to hood drawstrings that pose a strangulation hazard. Children can become entangled when the drawstrings catch on playground equipment, fences, or tree branches. The recalled items have identification numbers "RN90866" or "RN81862" printed on the care label. The sweatshirt (style RN 90866) is a pullover with a zipper front pouch pocket and elbow pads, available in navy or olive. The jacket (style RN 81862) is a zip-front cotton canvas style with a fleece hood, available in khaki, navy, olive, or natural with stripes. Both garments are made from 100 percent cotton in sizes small through large and were manufactured in Nepal or Pakistan.

According to the recall, consumers should stop wearing these jackets and sweatshirts. The remedy options are to remove the drawstrings from the hood or to discard or destroy the products entirely.
