CPSC, Target Corp. Announce Recall of Men's Sweatshirts
Fire
The hazard
The fleece fabric on the inside of these sweatshirts fails to meet federal mandatory standards of fabric flammability, because it can ignite readily if exposed to flame, and therefore presents a serious risk of burn injuries, in violation of the Federal Flammable Fabrics Act.
Incidents reported: CPSC and Target are not aware of any injuries involving these sweatshirts. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injuries.
What to do now
Consumers should immediately stop wearing these sweatshirts and return them to the store where purchased, for a full refund.
Contact: For additional information about this recall, consumers can call Target at (800) 440-0680 anytime or visit their web site at www.target.com
