Everything with a cord is now being recalled for a lot of different companies, especially juniors clothing, it's ridiculous. How is it that we all managed to survive growing up without strangling ourselves. I dunno… I'm obviously sorry about the kid who died on the school bus (which I believe triggered the recalls for so many companies) but seriously, more kids get strangled by their own t-shirts each year, are we soon going to be liable for that as well?

Yeah I have a shop in Pa and the FBI showed up 1 morning becasue we had 1 style of youth hoodie size small with draw strings. Funny thing is after they took all our inventory I called the manufacturer of that item and they knew nothing about the this issue. And of course they never got a visit for the feds either. So there we were out of product and money.
