Plain-English summary
Greensboro Manufacturing Company, a subsidiary of GENESCO, Inc., has recalled girls' gowns, style 1915, size 0-6X. The affected garments were manufactured between July 29, 1972, and July 28, 1973, and retailed for approximately $2 each. The recall was initiated after the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) accepted a provisional consent agreement prohibiting the company from marketing children's sleepwear that fails to meet the standards of the Flammable Fabrics Act.
The specific issue involves flammability labels that were attached in inconspicuous places. Under the standard DOC FF 3-71, items that did not meet the desired level of flame resistance required cautionary labels that were readily visible to warn consumers that the products may be flammable. The CPSC noted that the consent agreement does not constitute an admission of law violation but provides for a settlement.
Greensboro recalled the garments from one of its customers, and returned items were replaced or credit was given to the retailer. The CPSC announced the acceptance of the provisional consent agreement on April 22, 1976. Consumers with these items should check for the style number 1915 and size range 0-6X to determine if they are affected.
