What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (flammability) where injury has been reported (one burn injury), fitting the High severity criteria for products where injury has not yet been reported or is limited.
Plain-English summary
FatFace Corp. is recalling two styles of women's sweaters: the overhead Cowes (style number 918043) and the zip-up Yarmouth (style number 918041). The recalled sweaters fail to meet federal flammability standards for clothing textiles, which poses a risk of burn injuries. The firm has received one report of a burn injury associated with these products.
The sweaters were sold at FatFace stores in Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, and online at www.fatface.com from September 2016 through January 2017 for about $60. The Cowes sweater is ivory, while the zip-up sweater was sold in ivory, ocean surf (green), and lilac ice (lavender). Style numbers are printed on the care label on the inside seam of the sweaters.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled sweaters and contact FatFace for instructions on returning them for a $75 refund.
