CPSC, S. Rothschild & Co. Announce Recall to Repair Girls' Ho oded Winter Jackets
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), S. Rothschild & Co. Inc., of New York, N.Y., is
voluntarily recalling for repair about 37,000 girls' iridescent, hooded
winter jackets. The rubber petal and metal snap can break off of the
jacket, posing a choking hazard to young children.
S. Rothschild has received two reports of the rubber petal coming
off the jacket, including one child who reportedly put the petal in her
mouth. The snaps have come off in subsequent testing.
The recalled jackets are blue, lilac, pink, raspberry and magenta
and include sizes XS/2T - L4T, 2/4 - M/5-6 - L/6X, 3/6 - 6/9 - 12M - 18M
24M, and S/2T - M/3T - L/4T - XL/5T. The style numbers, which can be
found on a tag attached to the left sleeve, are 52913, 52813J,
12913K, B2913, 32813, 12816C, 3281J, 82819D, 82816D, and 32816C. The
jacket labels include the words, "Little Impressions," "Rothschild,"
"Izzi's Kids," or "Clockwise." The recalled jackets were made in India.
Major retail stores nationwide sold the jackets from May 2002
through December 2002 for about $25 to $45.
Consumers should stop using these jackets immediately and contact
S. Rothschild and Co. at (800) 301-3411 between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. ET
Monday through Friday to arrange for the jacket to be repaired and
returned free of charge.
