Children Can Strangle on Drawstrings

recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.

Distributor: Kidz World Inc., d/b/a High Energy USA, of New York, N.Y.

Hazard: The sweatshirts have a drawstring through hood which poses a
strangulation hazard to children. In February 1996, CPSC issued
guidelines to help prevent children from strangling or getting entangled
on the neck and waist by drawstrings in upper garments, such as jackets
and sweatshirts.

Incidents/Injuries: None reported.

Description: The recalled boys' sweatshirts are hooded and have a zipper
up the front. They were sold in boys' sizes small and medium. The style
number, and "High Energy" or "Energy Clothing Company," are printed on
the sewn-in neck tag. The following styles are included in this recall.

Style Number and Color

T78311: Tan and brown plaid

S78511, S78514, S78515, S78516: White/black, blue/gray, red/navy and
other assorted colors

Sold at: A.J. Wright, Bealls Outlet, A&E Stores, and Happy Days Stores
nationwide from October 2007 through November 2007 for about $15.

Manufactured in: Pakistan, Egypt, and Korea

Remedy: Consumers should immediately remove the drawstring from the
sweatshirts to eliminate the hazard, or contact High Energy for a full
refund.
