Recall Details

Description:

(Washington, D.C.) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Alexanders Inc.,New York, N.Y., today announced a voluntary recall of sweatshirts sold by the firm. Alexanders operates 15 retail department stores in the greater New York metropolitan area and has agreed to provide a full refund to consumers who return the sweatshirts to its stores.

Although this sweatshirt has not been involved in any incidents known to the Commission or to Alexanders, testing shows that it fails to meet the flammability requirement for general wearing apparel before and after washing.

The recalled sweatshirts were made in China of 100% Cotton with a neck label tag "Michael Richards". The sweatshirts were sold for $8.50 in Alexanders own stores from February 3, 1984 through June 11, 1984.

About the U.S. CPSC

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products has contributed to a decline in the rate of injuries associated with consumer products over the past 50 years.

Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
