About 5,000 units of youth jackets from Puma are being recalled. The
jacket has a drawstring at the waist that has toggles and is not
stitched to the back of the jacket. No injuries have been reported.d

In  its statement, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said the drawstring could become snagged
or caught in small spaces or vehicle doors and it poses an entanglement
hazard. In February 1996, CPSC issued guidelines about drawstrings
in children's upper outerwear. In 1997, those guidelines were
incorporated into a voluntary standard. Then in July 2011, based on the
guidelines and voluntary standard, CPSC issued a federal regulation.
CPSC's actions demonstrate a commitment to help prevent children from
strangling or getting entangled on neck and waist drawstrings in upper
outerwear, such as jackets and sweatshirts.

The jacket's description is PUMA USA V-Konstruct Training Jacket with Pockets.

The recall involved the USA V-Konstruct Training Jacket with Pockets
model numbers 65110201, 65110202, 65110203, 65110204 and 65110205. The
model numbers are printed on the white care label that is stitched into a
side seam towards the bottom of the jacket. The model numbers appear to
the right of the words “(PVC Free)” and below the words “ART.NO.” The
recalled jackets have a short collar, full length zipper, two pockets, a
mesh panel running along the back of the shoulders and under the
sleeves and an elastic cord with toggles at the waist. The PUMA logo is
featured on the upper right chest and left sleeve. The jackets were sold
in YS (youth small), YM (youth medium) and YL (youth large) and in
color combinations red/black, green/black, blue/black, navy/gray and
black/gray.

The item was sold at clothing retail stores nationwide and online from January 2007 through January 2012 for between $12 and $55.
