Douglas blankets recalled for strangulation hazard
May 20, 2008 at 2:36 pm

douglas.jpgOut of all the things that put our kids in harm’s way, we didn’t think they’re blankie would be one of them. But apparently they can be just as deadly as any of them, and Douglas is recalling their line of Lil’ Snugglers children’s blankets, because of reports that the satin edge can come loose, presenting a strangulation hazard.

These blankets were sold at specialty stores nationwide between April 2005 and December 2007 for around $12. A complete list of the style numbers involved in the recall can be found on the Douglas website.

Camo sweatshirt recalled for strangulation hazard
April 2, 2008 at 2:27 pm

sweatshirt.jpgGreat, 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.

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.
