The text below is quoted from the CPSC notice word for word.
- What was recalled
- This recall involves kids' waterproof hooded rain ponchos sold in clear, red and blue. The lightweight ponchos were sold in packs of 6 and 12. A white nylon drawstring is attached at the neck of the 40 inches tall by 60 inches wide ponchos. "One size fits all" and "Made in China" are printed on the front of the packaging.
- The hazard

- The remedy
- Consumers should immediately take the recalled ponchos away from children and remove the drawstring to eliminate the hazard or return the poncho to the firm for a full refund.
