A quick note of warning for all those lululemon lovers out there- over 300,000 women’s tops have been recalled due to injury hazards. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reported on June 25, 2015 that the company has received reports of injury due to the elastic draw cord found in many of their women’s jackets and pullovers that have been on the market since 2008.
Lululemon athletica of Vancouver, British Columbia has received reports of seven incidents where the elastic draw cord around the hood or neck has snapped back and caused injury to either the consumer’s face or eye. It seems that the hard tip found on the drawstring can get caught or pulled then snap back and surprise an unsuspecting person. Altogether 133,000 tops in the United States and 185,000 tops in Canada have been tied to this recall. The 19 various styles were sold at lululemon stores and online from January 2008 through December 2014.
Consumers who have purchased the affected tops are advised to not wear the clothing until proper corrections have been made. One option is to remove the cord before wearing again. The other is to contact lululemon directly to request a new, non-elastic draw cord with replacement instructions. Further details are available by visiting their website or contacting lululemon toll-free at (877)263-9300. The hotline is open from 8a-1a ET Monday through Friday and 9a-9p ET Saturday and Sunday. Questions can also be emailed to their Guest Education Centre at gec@lululemon.com.
