CPSC, abcDistributing Announce Recall of Fleece Pants with Long Waist Drawstring on Jacket

Other hazard

Waist drawstring on jacket is longer than 3 inches when the waist is expanded to its fullest width, and there are toggles and knots at the end of the un-tacked drawstring. This can cause the drawstring to catch on protrusions (such as bus doors or handles), potentially causing injury or death if the person is dragged by the vehicle.
