Grundens Children’s Rain Jackets

Grundens children’s rain jackets are waterproof outerwear made for kids, often used for outdoor play, school, or rainy weather. They are typically found in sporting goods stores, outdoor retailers, and online shops.

What’s the risk?

The drawstrings on these jackets can get caught on playground equipment, fences or other objects. This can lead to strangulation or, if caught on a vehicle, dragging injuries. Young children are especially at risk when wearing jackets with drawstrings.
