Product Description

This recall involves James Trading Group's Croker Kids Ireland Sports Hoodie with model number IR6012 printed on a hang tag attached to the hoodie. The kid's hoodie has green fabric on the upper chest and arms with a white diagonal stripe across the torso and a blue panel on the bottom half of the hoodie. "Ireland" is printed in white letters across the chest and there are three Shamrock logos embroidered onto a patch on the bottom left side of the hoodie. The hoodie is 75% cotton and 25% polyester. The hoodie was sold in kid's sizes "2YR" through "12YR" printed on the hang tag and on the tag sewn into the neck of the garment. "Croker" is printed on the inside neck label on the garment.

Reason for Recall

The sweatshirts have a drawstring around the neck area which poses a strangulation hazard to children. Drawstrings can become entangled or caught on playground slides, hand rails, school bus doors or other moving objects, posing a significant strangulation and/or entanglement hazard to children.
