Sweaters Units: About 1,700 Distributors: Trendset Originals, of New York, N.Y. Hazard: A drawstring is threaded through the hood of the garment, posing a strangulation hazard to children.

This poses suffocation and entrapment hazards for young children. Distribution: Nationwide Date: 9/30/2008 Reason: The paint on the recalled toy boats contains an excess level of lead, violating the federal lead paint standard. Distribution: Nationwide Date: 10/21/2008 Reason: If the spring pegs in the base of each leg of the crib are pushed back into the lower track, the pegs can become nonfunctional. This can cause the drop side to detach from the crib and create a gap that can entrap an infant or toddler. Distribution: Nationwide Date: 11/6/2008 Reason: Surface coating on the toy television could contain excessive levels of lead, violating the federal lead paint standard. Distribution: Nationwide Date: 9/8/2008 Reason: The hammock can flip over, posing a serious fall hazard and strangulation hazard to infants who get entrapped in the seat’s restraint straps while upside down.
