Why it was recalled

The sweatshirts generally have a single front pocket. They were sold in boys' and girls' sizes XS, S, M, L, XL. A white size label has the word "Hooey" and "Made in China" and is located at the center back neck of the sweatshirts. A label in the side seam has the garment care instructions.

What to do

Consumers should immediately take the recalled sweatshirts away from children and remove the drawstring to eliminate the hazard.. Follow the official notice for full instructions.
