Health Canada determined that the drawstrings on the rainwear could become caught on objects, resulting in a strangulation hazard. 

While neither MTCorp nor Health Canada has received reports of any incidents in relation to the rainwear, customers are advised to immediately remove the drawstrings from the neck area.

For further information, customers may contact Mercantile Trading Corp at 1-514-271-2528 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. EST, Monday through Friday.

From 2010 to 2013, approximately 2,283 of the rainwear items were sold at L'Aubainerie in Quebec.
