The Office for Product Safety and Standards issued a recall for North Face Hoodies due to them presenting "a serious risk of strangulation."
The product is part of the clothing brand's Teen's Hoodie selection and has a model number of 7X4U.
The product is described as: "100% Cotton hoodie knitted product with front Kangoroo pocket, a two-pieced hood and TNF logo on the front and on the back.
"Product intended for teens aged between 6 and 18 years old, sizes XS – XL. This product has drawstrings with free ends in the hood and neck area."
In an OPSS statement online, the standards agency said: "The product presents a risk of strangulation as there are drawstrings with free ends in the hood of the product. Drawstrings can become trapped during various activities of a child, leading to potential strangulation.
North Face said that the corrective action for this issue is to return the purchased product to the store where it was acquired for a full refund.
It added that a product collection can also be arranged by contacting tnf.ukshop@vfc.com.
