Plain-English summary
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Apparel Industries, Inc. announced a voluntary recall of approximately 26,000 women's oversized fashion tops. The tops, identified as styles 3403, 3419, and 3419P, were imported from Portugal and sold nationwide between August and October 1986. They were made of 100% cotton fleece fabric and sold for $20.00 to $30.00.
The recall was initiated because testing showed that the tops fail to meet the flammability requirement for general wearing apparel. Although the tops have not been involved in any incidents known to the Commission or the firm, the hazard presents a risk of fire and fire-related burns.
Consumers who purchased these tops should return them to the retail stores where they were bought to receive a full refund. For further information, consumers may contact Jean Martin of Apparel Industries at 800-223-5543.
