The product
This recall involves boys' long-sleeved zip-front hooded jackets. The jackets were sold in three colors: army green, aqua green and black and have a fake fur lining. The jackets have one of four designs: the number "2" or the letter "B" embroidered on the left front chest; or the word "ROCK" or "AB Sportwear" embroidered across the chest. The jackets were sold in sizes 4-7 or S, M, and L. Either "SX" or "QH" appears on the label stitched at the neck. The jackets have model numbers: 1006, 1029, 1058 and 1061, however the model number only appears on the original hang tag and not on the product.
