DescriptionChildren's fleece jackets with drawstrings at the neck and waist Product description This recall involves children’s fleece jackets, with hoods, sold as a two-piece set with pants (model 331). These children's jackets have a fleece lining and drawstrings at the neck and waist. In addition, there is a brand label marked “mini parallèles” at the bottom of the jacket. They are sold in different sizes, colours and patterns.
