Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Nordstrom is recalling about 2,030 Leith brand women's textured open vest sleeveless sweaters. These 35.5-inch long sweaters were sold in black and cream colors and fail to meet federal flammability standards for clothing. Consumers who purchased these garments between August 2014 and September 2014 should immediately stop wearing them and contact Nordstrom for a full refund.

Risk

The fabric used in these sweaters does not meet federal safety standards for flammability, which means they can ignite easily and pose a serious burn injury hazard to the wearer.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your clothing for the 'Leith' brand label sewn into the garment to see if it is a textured, sleeveless open vest sweater measuring approximately 35.5 inches long.
  2. Verify the care label, which should state 'Made in China', '83% cotton', and '17% nylon' in sizes Extra Small (XS) through Extra Large (XL).
  3. Immediately stop wearing the recalled black or cream vest sweaters.
  4. Contact Nordstrom at (800) 804-0806 anytime, email contact@nordstrom.com, or visit www.nordstrom.com and click on 'Recall' for instructions on how to return the sweater for a full refund.
  5. For additional questions, you can contact the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772.
