Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

FatFace is recalling about 400 women’s Overhead Cowes and Yarmouth Textured zip-up sweaters because they fail to meet federal flammability standards for clothing textiles. These sweaters pose a serious burn risk to consumers if the fabric catches fire. One report of a burn injury has been received in connection with this recall. The sweaters were sold in ivory, green, and lavender colors between September 2016 and January 2017 for approximately $60. Consumers should immediately stop wearing these sweaters and contact FatFace for a full refund of $75.

Risk

The sweaters are made of a material that does not meet federal safety standards for flammability, meaning they can ignite easily and burn rapidly. One individual has already reported suffering a burn injury while wearing one of the garments.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using and wearing the recalled FatFace sweaters.
  2. Check the care label on the inside seam of your sweater for style numbers 918043 (Overhead Cowes) or 918041 (Yarmouth Textured zip-up).
  3. Confirm the color and features: style 918043 is an ivory pullover with a 3.5-inch cowl neck and kangaroo pocket; style 918041 is a hooded zip-up with two pockets and a metal zipper sold in ivory, ocean surf (green), or lilac ice (lavender).
  4. Contact FatFace at 800-585-0178 between 4 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, 5 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET Saturday, or 6 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET Sunday to receive instructions on returning the sweater for a $75 refund.
