Macy’s, in conjunction with the U.S. Product Safety Commission, is voluntarily recalling sweatshirts sold under the Epic Threads and Greendog labels because they pose a strangulation hazard to children.

To date, there have been no reports of injury involving the recalled items.

The recall includes boys and girls Epic Threads sweatshirts and girls Greendog sweaters with nonfunctional ties in numerous styles. The Epic Threads sweatshirts are white, gray, maroon, yellow, blue, green, and black, with images on the front and/or back. The girls Greendog sweaters are brown and gray. Only sizes small and medium are subject to the recall.

Consumers have two options – they can return the recalled item to Macy’s for a refund or remove the ties from the sweatshirts, thereby eliminating the hazard.

Consumer Contact: For more information, contact Macy’s toll-free at (888) 257-5949 between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit Macy’s Web site.
