AFTCO Recalls Youth Solitude Jackets with Drawstrings Due to Strangulation Hazard
AFTCO Mfg. Co., of Santa Ana, California
Hazard
The drawstring in the hood of the recalled jackets can get caught on objects and cause death or serious injury to children due to the strangulation hazard. The jackets are in violation of the federal regulations for children's upper outerwear and present a substantial product hazard.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately take the recalled jackets away from children and remove the drawstrings to eliminate the strangulation hazard. Consumers can either return the jacket to AFTCO for a full refund or upload a photo of the jacket without the drawstring and receive a $25 gift card. Consumers should go to www.aftco.com/recall to participate in the recall. AFTCO is contacting all known purchasers.
Sold at
Online at www.aftco.com, and at fishing, camping, and outdoor equipment stores nationwide from November 2018 through August 2024 for between $80 and $100.
