Below are the CPSC recalls that I have received since Wednesday, April 14, 2010.  Just three this week!  Of course there’s another sweatshirt with drawstrings are being recalled.  {annoyed!}
As a reminder:
In February 1996, CPSC issued guidelines(pdf) (which were incorporated into an industry voluntary standard in 1997) to help prevent children from strangling or getting entangled in the neck and waist drawstrings in upper garments, such as jackets or sweatshirts.
Be sure to check old hand-me-downs for this!
