Hazard

The sweatshirts, which fail to meet federal mandatory standards for fabric flammability, could ignite easily and present a serious risk of burn injuries, in violation of the Federal Flammable Fabrics Act. Fabrics that do not comply with the standard typically burn faster than newspaper.

Remedy

Consumers should stop wearing the sweatshirts immediately and return them to the store where purchased, for a full refund.

Incidents & injuries

None reported.

Product description

The FUBU brand sweatshirts are made of a fleece fabric that closely resembles that of an inside-outside sweatshirt. They are long-sleeved, pullover style with hoods. They are red, black or silver and are available in ladies sizes extra-small, small, medium and large. The name "FUBU" appears in large lettering across the chest, and a label sewn into the neck reads in part, "FUBU SPORTS, 90 percent cotton, 10 percent polyester, Made in Peru." The recalled sweatshirts are style FB-3855, which is written on sewn-in label underneath the care label.

Sold on

Major department and sporting goods stores nationwide, including Rich's, Lazarus, Goldsmith, Stern's and Athlete's Foot, sold the sweatshirts, between November 1999 and April 2000, for about $59.
