State issues warning about hoodies

State authorities shut down a San Jose daycare facility on North Claremont Avenue after a 2-year-old boy strangled on the cord of his hooded sweatshirt last month.

A week later, the Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled 300 boys hooded sweatshirts, saying that they could pose a strangulation hazard.

Now, the California Department of Social Services has posted a warning on its website that all clothing that contains drawstrings pose a hazard for children.

Many consumer safety organizations recommend that parents pull the drawstrings out of children's clothing.
