Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Helly Hansen is recalling approximately 13,900 adult workwear sweatshirts and hoodies because they fail to meet federal flammability standards for clothing textiles. These garments, which include 12 different styles made of cotton or cotton-blend fabrics, were sold in gray, navy, and black. Consumers should immediately stop wearing the affected items and contact the company for a refund or a credit toward a replacement. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.

Risk

The fabric used in these garments does not meet federal safety requirements for flammability. This poses a burn risk to consumers as the clothing can catch fire more easily than compliant textiles.

  2. Identify your garment by checking the style number printed on a tag located underneath the inside seam label (the label containing size and washing instructions). Affected style numbers are: 79208, 79209, 79210, 79212, 79213, 79214, 79215, 79216, 79217, 79243, 79245, and 79247.
  3. Immediately stop using and wearing the recalled clothing.
  4. Contact Helly Hansen to receive a full refund or a credit towards a free replacement item. You will be required to submit a photograph of the garment cut in half by email to highpri.support.na@hellyhansen.com.
