London, February 10 : Designs penned by singer Gwen Stefani for kids have reportedly been taken off shelves in the U. S. after posing to be a choking hazard.

Distributors in California were said to have pulled off The Harajuku Lovers hooded jackets apparently fearing that the drawstrings could lead to strangulation.

The jackets had been priced at 50 pounds and no harm has been reported, reports the Daily Star.

They formed a part of the pop star's Harajuku Lovers and L. A. M. B. collection for kids and adults. (ANI)
