What is this? These are two types of children’s hooded sweatshirts made in Poland. They have strings at the neck that can get caught.

What's happening? The strings are loose and can wrap around a child’s neck. This is a strangulation risk.

Does this affect me? If you have a child in the Czech Republic or Poland who owns one of these sweatshirts, check it right away.

What should I do? Stop using the hooded sweatshirt. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you need help finding a safe replacement.
