"Two more recalls came out this week form the consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSc) that once again emphasize the importance of parents making sure their children&amp;#039;s clothing is safe. While we may assume that garments designed for kids have passed regulatory criteria, in too many cases they have slipped past quality control. The first recall involves footed pajamas with a removable hood sold by Pajamagram. (Hoods on pjs should always be detachable as children shouldn&amp;#039;t sleep in hooded garments.) The metal snaps that attach the hood to the pj&amp;#039;s can come off, posing a chocking hazard to small children. The second is a recall of hooded sweatshirts with drawstrings by Hot Kids that really makes me crazy since the guidelines from the CPSC about drawstrings on children&amp;#039;s clothing have been in effect since 1996. The fact that the CPSC is still receiving incident or injury reports about drawstrings leads me to believe that some manufacturers and retailers are blatantly defying the guidelines. The CPSC will soon make a law forbidding companies from selling children&amp;#039;s outerwear with drawstrings of any kind and hefty fines will be levied on manufacturers who break it. Please check and double check any outer garments you purchase for your kids and make sure there are no drawstrings at the neck and waist. Check out my past blog posts on recalled children&amp;#039;s garments and well as Stacy Genovese&amp;#039;s posts on other recalled children&amp;#039;s products.
