Finnish safety authorities have issued a warning about potentially hazardous cords in certain jackets from Revolutionrace that could pose injury risks, especially to children.
The Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency, Tukes, has raised an alert about jackets from the Swedish brand Revolutionrace due to dangerous drawstrings located at the bottom of the garments. These drawstrings have the potential to get caught in vehicles or doors, leading to serious injury risks, particularly for children. Tukes has emphasized the urgency of the situation, encouraging consumers to stop using the jackets and return them to the point of purchase immediately.
The agency has identified the specific jacket models affected, which have numbers 10881, 10760, 14165, and 11113, and sizes ranging from 146 to 164. For consumers who have purchased these jackets, there is an option to safely remove the drawstring themselves following provided guidelines. This recall highlights growing concerns regarding safety standards in children's clothing and the responsibility of manufacturers to ensure their products do not pose risks to users.
As consumers become more aware of safety issues, this incident may prompt a broader discussion about regulatory measures and how effectively they can prevent hazardous products from entering the market. The recall serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance in product safety and the need for quick action to mitigate potential dangers in everyday items like clothing.
