Recall Wednesday: Hammary Furniture, Women’s Peacoats, Children’s Snowsuits, Kumma IR Stow & Go Grills, Mecca Jackets,TUSA RS-670 Regulators

Below are the CPSC recalls that I have received since Wednesday, April 7, 2010.  Guess what we’re seeing again????  That’s right, mores sweatshirts 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!

You can find even more detailed information on all recalled products mentioned below on CPSC.gov. All information below comes directly from the CPSC website.
