DEFECTS
In isolated cases, burners may not align correctly with the gas delivery jets. Upon ignition the gas within the barbecue burner is likely to light at the jet rather than only at the burner ports.

NAME OF PRODUCT:
Boys’ Jackets
UNITS: About 40
DESCRIPTION
This recall involves two styles of Richie House boys’ hooded jackets. The striped red and purple jacket comes with a drawstring in the hood, and has a crest-shaped emblem sewn onto the front of it. It was sold in sizes: 4-7 and 9-10. The model number is RH1045C. The polyester and cotton padded jackets were sold in brown, dark green and red, and have a white drawstring located at the bottom. The jackets have a round emblem sewn onto the front and were sold in sizes 2T-5. The model number is RH1332-B or RH1332-C and is printed on the care label. “Richie House” is also printed on a label sewn into the neck of the coat.
IMPORTER
Belle Investment Corporation, of Irvine, Calif.
MANUFACTURED IN: China
HAZARD:
The jackets have drawstrings in the hood and at the bottom, which pose an entrapment hazard to children. Drawstrings can become entangled or caught on playground slides, hand rails, school bus doors or other moving objects, posing a significant strangulation and/or entanglement hazard to children. In February 1996, CPSC issued guidelines about drawstrings in children's upper outerwear. In 1997, those guidelines were incorporated into a voluntary standard. Then, in July 2011, based on the guidelines and voluntary standard, CPSC issued a federal regulation. CPSC's actions demonstrate a commitment to help prevent children from strangling or getting entangled on neck and waist drawstrings in upper outerwear, such as jackets and sweatshirts.
INCIDENTS/INJURIES
None reported.
Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings from the hood and the bottom of the recalled jackets to eliminate the hazard and contact Richie House for instructions to receive a full refund.
