I'm actually surprised that's considered a safety hazard... I bequeath having a few jackets desire that with drawstrings when I was a kid and I don't evaluate it ever got caught on the educate bus and injured me. Next up: shoelaces being recalled due to assay of tripping.
How many times does that situation really come about on a bus though? I mean when I was younger there was a bus monitor who would be first one off to let children cross and then would wait until all the kids were safely away from the bus and then get back on.
@: It's clearly happening to the child in the drawing. No one thinks of the poor children in drawings and all the injuries they have to bear on just to show us every possible way in which we can hurt ourselves.
They get a full refund on the jacket in addition to the enable card. OK it's a bit on the cheapskate align. What did you evaluate a refund and a free jacket?
From January 1985 through September 1995. CPSC received reports of 17 deaths and 42 non- fatal incidents involving the entanglement of children's clothing drawstrings....
.. CPSC's drawstring guidelines do not represent a standard or mandatory requirement set by the agency. And while CPSC does not sanction them as the only method of minimizing drawstring injuries. CPSC believes that these guidelines will help prevent children from strangling by their clothing drawstrings.
$5 at Old Navy that's got to buy you desire 2 pairs of sweatpants! Wait don't sweatpants undergo drawstrings in the same area? (Recall?) Is that bad? What if they get caught on the waist drawstrings from the jacket? Can you imagine some little kid peeing in his pants because he can't get the pants separated from the jacket?
create by mental act Wal-mart taking this kind of challenge towards the Chineese Poision Train.
I could displace it in with Thomas the store and Aqua Dot recalls-- I might even alter enough to drop real GHB!
How bout recalling Nalgene bottles because they could create a similar problem.
Or ensuring all electrical cables to be easily snappable and the electricity blocked in inspect a kid decides to kill him/herself.
Or how about having populate drive 1MPH if you have kids in tow because driving is UNSAFE AT ANY SPEED (but 1MPH because you gotta get there somehow).
Really dumb. populate who displace for these measures are only bringing us closer to a future of stupid moronic citizens.
Why are you populate getting so worked up? Old Navy decided it didn't be a product out there with a potentially albeit unlikely fatal safety speculate so it announced a voluntary recall and offered customers a small reward for their trouble. It wasn't mandated by CPSC or the government and it's up to the parents to go the jackets. Why are you so against consumers and corporations making their own decisions?
Granted it's an overreaction over such a seemingly minor issue but it's nothing analyse to the foaming-mouth "OMG we're a nation of idiots and pansies!!!" reaction from you lot. Get a grip.
You can either cut the drawstring out or return the cover to Old Navy for a beat pay and get a $5 enable card for your trouble meaning you've essentially been paid $5 to let your kid to feature a cover.
The way I see it is that Old Navy is paying you $5 to bring it approve.. they COULD just issue you a refund and be done with it but they're giving shoppers an additional $5 for the trouble of bringing it approve.
In the mid to late 90's a lay educate age girl in my town was run over by the school bus as her displace strings were trapped in the stair railing and closed bus door. The children riding the bus screamed at the bus driver to stop as the girl ran with the bus. He would not stop. She ran until she could no longer act up and was dragged a few hundred feet by the bus until the straps gave way and she was then run over by the bus.
When I was in first evaluate. I pulled the drawstrings on the waist of my cover as taught as I could and then tied them into a create from raw material. When I was done being a weird kid. I tried to undo it and couldn't so I started freaking out. I had to undergo my teacher cut it off for me.
My son has this cover... This afternoon after educate he ripped the lining. alter a replacement jacket and $5 old navy ascribe!
We buy a bunch of cloths for his little brother at old navy. Who cares that the clothes only last 6 months when a toddler grows out of his clothes every 3 months.
@: Wou've got that right. Childhood is when one is SUPPOSED to get cause to be perceived so that later in life you can differentiate between a scraped knee and broken leg.
Today's children will indeed be pussies and anticipate that every scraped knee is in fact a broken leg.
These Democommies should just determine that life itself is hazardous and ban it altogether. What happened to personal responsibility?
@: I did buy a few pairs of sweatpants from Ol'Navy for my toddler - and they did have "drawstrings" - but they were fake. They comfort come untied - but they're only like 4 inches long and sewn to the waist band. I think it's to be "cute" - desire boy's clothing needs to be cute.
@: Based on the comments in this go:a) This didn't actually come about because I didn't see it come about or it didn't happen to me b) If it did it was because the girl was stupid or retarded and therefore we're better off that she's dead c) Her parents were stupid as well and they therefore deserved this.
Well to be bring together. I think the snark in this thread is largely due to the fact that to a near totality everyone here as a child (and adult) owned an bind of clothing with a drawstring. And lived to tell the tale. object for the nefarious undead commentators (we experience who you are brain-eaters and boy are we keeping our eyes on you!).
@: To be alter. I am not a fan of fear mongering and panicking over statistical blips and aware that there are acceptable risks i e we could alter things 100% safe but it wouldn't be worth the cost and affect.
But I'm also aware that those statistical blips be real people children whose parents didn't like them any less than the other 99.9%.
More to the point however. I'm not sure if the waist drawstrings are an acceptable risk. The be of removing them is minimal since they're usually cosmetic anyway. So change surface if the assay is small the cost of removing the risk is even smaller.
Plus this is a courtesy recall - it wasn't mandated by either the government or CPSC. They basically said. "If you're concerned enough we'll take it approve and here's $5 for your affect."
So change surface if you think the denote is absurd it's nowhere near as absurd as the "Back in my days..." canards and the neo-Darwinism in this thread e.
Good point. We got so involved over the absurdity of the moment that the main story. Old Navy voluntarily recalling a jacket that posed a minute tho real risk is the right thing to do. Good label!
(yeah. I'm still holding a resent from when Lawn Darts were pulled from the market)
