Trendset Originals LLC Recalls Girls' Hooded Jackets with Drawstrings
Due to Strangulation and Entanglement Hazards

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in
cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary
recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using
recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.

Name of Product: Girls' hooded jackets

Units: About 2,400 of the Shampoo brand and an unknown number of the
Marci & Me brand

Distributor: Trendset Originals LLC, of New York, N.Y.

Hazard: The hooded jackets have a drawstring through the hood that can
pose a strangulation hazard to children. The sweater jackets have a
drawstring through the waist that can pose an entanglement hazard to
children. In February 1996, CPSC issued guidelines (pdf) (which were
incorporated into an industry voluntary standard in 1997) to help
prevent children from strangling or getting entangled on the neck and
waist drawstrings in upper garments, such as jackets and sweatshirts.

Incidents/Injuries: None reported.

Description: This recall involves two styles of girls' jackets. The
Shampoo brand jackets are denim with a pink hood and sleeves, and were
sold in sizes 5/6, 7/8, 10/12 and 14/16. The Marci & Me brand sweater
jackets are black or tan and were sold in sizes 7/8, 10/12 and 14/16.
The tag at the neck reads "Shampoo" or "Marci & Me."

Sold exclusively at: Burlington Coat Factory stores nationwide from
September 2007 through September 2009 for between $11 and $13.

Manufactured in: China and Bangladesh

Remedy: Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings from the
jackets to eliminate the hazard. Consumers can also return the jackets
to any Burlington Coat Factory store for a full refund.

Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact Trendset Originals
at (800) 908-8308 between 9:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. ET Monday through
Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.trendsetny.com
