The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced today that nine firms have agreed to pay a total of $355,000 in civil penalties. The penalties settle allegations that the firms knowingly failed to report to the CPSC immediately, as required by federal law, that their children’s hooded sweatshirts, jackets, or sweaters were sold with drawstrings at the hood and neck. These products, which the firms eventually recalled, pose a strangulation hazard that can cause death to children. The settlements have been provisionally accepted.

Lounging poolside in Nevada in the middle of the summer is a bit of a mixed blessing. On the one hand, there’s no shortage of cute waiters happy to bring me my fill of virgin Pina Coladas. On the other, it’s so oppressively hot that I fear the baby may...
