Drawstrings on Children’s Sweatshirts Put Child’s Safety at Risk

The use of drawstrings in fastening children’s sweatshirts has been listed by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission as a hazard for children which could cause strangulation if the strings were caught while the child was playing or even in the baby’s crib.  They recommend that if you have such sweatshirts in your home you take the drawstrings out of the garment for your child’s safety.  Even the drawstrings that some sweatshirts provide around the waist of the sweatshirt can cause hazard and there are guidelines as to the length of the drawstring on the waist.

It is imperative that we keep up to date on these warnings as like so many things around the home a sweatshirt can seem so harmless.  Now that it is pointed out to me I can see the danger of the string being caught.

    It is useful to try everything in practice anyway and I like that here it’s always possible to find something new. :)
