James Perse is recalling approximately 6,700 men's and women's jackets due to a violation of the federal flammability standard for wearing apparel. The recalled items include a men's corduroy jacket (style MV2156) and two styles of women's jackets: a zip-front hooded jacket (style WOY2443) and a belted wrap jacket (style WOY2444). All jackets are made of 100 percent cotton, manufactured in China, and feature Sherpa fleece lining or accents.

The jackets fail to meet the required federal flammability standards, which poses a fire hazard to consumers. No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall. The products were sold at Bloomingdales, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Barneys of New York, and James Perse Boutiques from July 2010 to December 2010 for prices ranging from $225 to $350.
