Reported risk: The cotton knit sweaters are cream colored with a blue stripe at the wrists and waist, a blue ball on the hood, and blue buttons. There is a drawstring through the hood with pom-poms at the ends. The sweaters were sold in children's size 2T under the brand name "Empress Arts." "Empress Baby" is sewn into the sweater's tag. Hazards: The sweaters have drawstrings through the hood. Children can get entangled in the drawstrings, which can catch on playground equipment, fences or tree branches.
