Two kinds of hooded sweatshirts for children are being recalled because of concerns they could injure a child.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission says about 1,200 Hello Kitty Zip Up Hoodie Sweatshirts from California-based NTD Apparel are being recalled because of a drawstring through the hood which can pose a strangulation risk.

The sweatshirt, above left, was sold at Macy's last November and December.

About 12,000 sweatshirts from Virginia Beach-based Sunsations, seen above right, are also being recalled for the same issue.

Parents are being urged to remove the drawstrings..

For more information, call the Commission's Recall Hotline at 1-800-638-2772.
