Macy's has agreed to pay $750,000 in civil penalties for failing to report that it had sold children's sweatshirts, sweaters and jackets with drawstrings at the neck between 2006 and 2010.
Reporting the sale of children clothing with drawstrings so close to the neckline to the Consumer Product Safety Commission is a federal law, writes the CPSC. Macy's denies knowingly violating the law, however.
The clothing in question are:
Quiksilver Inc. Hide & Seek hooded sweatshirts;
Jerry Leigh of California Inc. Harajuku Lovers Hooded Jackets;
La Jolla Sport USA Inc. O'Neill children's sweatshirts;
Dysfunctional Clothing LLC children's hooded sweatshirts;
Macy's Merchandising Group Inc. Epic Threads hooded sweatshirts and Greendog sweaters;
C-MRK Inc. Ocean Current boys' hooded sweatshirts;
NTD Apparel Inc. Hello Kitty hooded sweatshirts;
S. Rothschild & Co Inc. girls' coats; and
VF Contemporary Brands Inc. Splendid girls' hooded jackets and vest sets
Here is the full press release from the CPSC.
