Popular active wear retailer lululemon athletica

 

is recalling over 185,000 jackets, hoodies, tops, tunics and pullovers in Canada because the drawstrings can snap back if pulled, possibly hitting those wearing them in the face.

 

The company says it’s aware of at least five such incidents and injuries.

More than 133,000 of the affected tops were sold in the U.S.

They were sold, primarily prior to 2014, under a variety of names, colours and styles, including:

  Carry and Go Hoodie

  Cool Down Jacket

  Course-ette Jacket

  Cozy Up Jacket

  Dance Studio Jacket

  Dance Sweat Shirt

  Don’t Hurry Up Be Happy Pullover

  Gratitude Wrap

  Necessity Jacket

  Proactive Jacket

  Refresh Snap Up

  Run Sun Blocker Pullover

  Run Track N Field Jacket

  Run With It Jacket

  Sanctuary Jacket

  Savasana Tunic

  Sing, Floss, Travel Jacket

  Stow’N Go Jacket

  Stride Jacket

  Summertime Tunic

  Varsity Hoodie

  Victory Jacket

  Wear With All Jacket

Lululemon says ”Consumers should stop wearing the tops with the elasitc craw cord and either remove the draw cord or contact lululemon athletica to request a new, non-elastic draw cord with written instructions on how to replace the draw cord.”

Lululemon recalled some yoga pants two years ago after complaints they were too sheer.
