About 7,200 of these sweatshirts were sold at stores nationwide for $20 - $30, between July and December 2007. Besides the lovely print on the sweatshirt, you can look for an item number underneath the care label. The item numbers affected by the recall are 11037Y-39 and 1113Y-39. Parents should immediately remove the drawstring, or return the sweatshirt to place of purchase for a full refund. More information is available on the Brents-Riordan website.

Great, now our 4-year-old has nothing to wear when he goes deer hunting. A hooded sweatshirt by Brents-Riordan, Inc. is being recalled because the drawstring in the hood poses a strangulation hazard. As you can imagine, young kids could get entangled in the string, something the CPSC has pointed out since *1996*. Apparently China didn’t get the memo.

The recall includes all Airwalk Compel clogs sold in “prewalk” size 3 up through toddler size 10, and were sold at Payless, Pamida, and payless.com for $13 from August 2006 - April 2007. Payless says you can return or exchange them at your nearest store. And then maybe think about springing for the real deal, eh? Tags: Clothing Recalls, payless shoesBookmark to:

I know, it sounds weird to think your kid’s shoes could be a potential danger, but Payless Shoesource has apparently found a way. Their recalling approximately 690,000 of their “Airwalk Compel” (i.e., Crocs knockoff) clogs — it seems the plastic rivets that attach the strap can come loose and are small enough to pose a choking hazard. There’s already been one report of a tot that got one stuck in their throat.
