The U.S. CPSC, in cooperation with Century 21 Promotions, Inc., today announced a voluntary recall of Youth Hooded Sweatshirts and Jackets. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.

No Injuries have been reported.
This recall involves children’s sweatshirts and jackets sold in sizes XS – XXL in colors: navy blue, black, brown, pink, red, white, green, grey, blue, yellow, and orange. The recalled garments contain the following embroidered logos: “Montauk,” “Avalon,” “Stone Harbor,” “Cape May,” “Sea Isle,” “Ocean City,” “Alaska,” “Nantucket,” “Maine,” “Long Beach Island,” “Lavallette,” “Seaside Park,” “Newport,” “Monterey,” “Carmel,” “Skaneateles,” “1000 Islands,” “Block Island” and “Seattle.”
