What happened

A red zip-up jacket for children sized 12 months, branded "NEXT STARS" (Style n° SE021), has been recalled due to drawstrings in the hood that measure 180 mm in length. This poses a suffocation hazard because the drawstrings exceed the maximum 75 mm length required by the European standard EN 14682 for children's garments for ages 7 to 14 years. The jacket is made of 65% cotton and 35% polyester and features white, black, and yellow embroidered flowers on the front.

The jacket has a sewn-in textile label marked "Next Stars" and includes a cardboard label with the product logo "New Stars FASHIONABLE WEAR," style number, size, and washing instructions. The drawstrings are fabric cords ending in plastic toggles. Corrective actions have been ordered by authorities to the distributor. The source does not specify what remedy is available to consumers who have purchased this product.
