The Consumer Product Safety Commission ruled in 2006 that children's clothing with drawstrings in hood or around the neck should be recalled since they posed a risk to children. The CPSC also put other specific pieces with drawstrings on the recall list at the same time. Unfortunately the major department store continued to sell clothing with drawstrings including the specific garments that were a part of the recall between 2006 and 2010. Macy's was aware of the recall. The sales were made in stores owned by Macy's, inc. including Bloomingdale's, Macy's, and Robinson-May stores.

When a company continues to sell a recalled product can be prosecuted and face civil lawsuits. Even though Macy's has offered to pay the $750,000 fine, the company denies knowing that the clothing had been recalled. Product recalls are unnerving when the product is for children because children cannot recognize the hazard.
