Children's Hooded Sweatshirts with Drawstrings Recalled by NTD Apparel Due to Strangulation Hazard

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.

Name of Product: "Hello Kitty" Zip Up Hoodie Sweatshirts

Units: 1,200

Distributor: NTD Apparel, of Los Angeles, Calif.

Hazard: The sweatshirts have a drawstring through the hood which can pose a strangulation hazard to children.

Sold at: Macy's and Dillard's department stores nationwide from November 2008 through December 2008 for $36.

Manufactured in: China

Remedy: Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings from the sweatshirts to eliminate the hazard, or return the garment to either the place of purchase or to NTD Apparel for a full refund.

Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact NTD Apparel toll-free at (866) 317-3974 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday.
