Children's jacket
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
A children's jacket marketed as "mini raxevsky" for 6-year-old girls poses strangulation and injury hazards due to drawstrings in the hood and at the bottom of the garment. The gold-colored jacket features drawstring loops and a cord at the top of the hood, as well as two drawstrings at the waist with metal toggles that extend below the lower edge of the garment.
