What to do now

The hazard with Ayan Textile Hoodcord Jacket is strangulation.

  1. Take it off the child, or remove it from the cot or room, now.
  2. Do not tie the cord up out of the way; remove it or stop using the item.
  3. This is a safety report rather than a manufacturer recall: the listing has been taken down, but the seller may not contact you. Get in touch with the seller through the marketplace.
  4. If you cannot reach the seller, Trading Standards can be told through Citizens Advice.

Why it matters. Drawstrings, cords and straps can snag on play equipment, cots or furniture. Strangulation happens quickly and silently.
