Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? A child’s clothing item made in Turkey has loose strings tied around the waist. These strings can get caught on things like doors or playground equipment.

What's happening? The strings can pull tight and hurt a child’s neck or cause them to trip and fall. This is a serious safety risk.

Does this affect me? If you have a child’s clothing item with loose waist strings, it could be unsafe. Check any similar clothes you own.

What should I do? Remove or shorten the strings right away. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you need help fixing the clothes safely.
