CPSC, Target Corp. Announce Recall of Men's Sweatshirts

Reported: November 19, 2002 Initiated: November 19, 2002 #03040

Product Description

The recall involves Physical Science-brand, heather-gray, hooded sweatshirts with a full-zippered front and "P87" embroidered on the left chest. The sweatshirts come in sizes small through XXL, and have two sewn-in labels: one reads "PHYS.SCI" and the other reads "65% COTTON," "35% POLYESTER," "RN 17730," MADE IN CHINA" and "SEE REVERSE FOR CARE." This recall does not include any other "PHYS.SCI" brand garments.

Reason for Recall

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.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop wearing these sweatshirts and return them to the store where purchased, for a full refund.
