The CPSC alleged that Gildan Activewear SRL failed to promptly report a hazard involving youth hooded sweatshirts with drawstrings; the garments were recalled in 2006. Gildan denied knowingly violating the law and said it reported the hazard when it had actual knowledge. In a settlement, the subsidiary agreed to a $35,000 civil penalty without admitting a violation; the Commission provisionally accepted the agreement in April 2008.
