CPSC, Target Corp. Announce Recall of Men's Sweatshirts

Hazard

The fleece fabric on the inside of these sweatshirts fails to meet federal mandatory standards of fabric flammability, because it can ignite readily if exposed to flame, and therefore presents a serious risk of burn injuries, in violation of the Federal Flammable Fabrics Act.
