Just when you thought it was safe to wear an expensive hoodie. Luckily, there haven’t been any serious injuries.
Lululemon is recalling drawstrings on 318,000 women's tops after their elastic cords caused seven face and eye injuries, according to a statement today.
Lululemon's "Sanctuary Jacket" is among those being recalled.

"When the elastic draw cord with a hard tip in the hood or around the neck area is pulled or caught on something and released, it can snap back, impact the face area and result in injury," the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said today.
