Men’s Sherpa Shirts Recalled by Foria International Due to Violation of Federal Flammability Standard
Foria International Inc. is recalling about 20,800 units of Men’s Fleece Sherpa Shirts because the shirts fail to meet the federal flammability standard for wearing apparel and pose a risk of burn injury.
The firm received two reports from consumers stating that the shirts quickly caught on fire, but no injuries were reported. The products of this recall are sold at Norm Thompson catalogs and website and at Norm Thompson Stores in Lake Oswego, Lincoln City, Troutdale, Portland, and Portland Airport, all in Oregon; and in North Conway, N.H. and Kearneysville, W.V. from September 2003 through November 2009 for about $45.00. Consumers should stop using the recalled shirts immediately and contact Foria International for information on returning the shirts for a full refund. For additional information, contact Foria International toll free at (888) 999-6568 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit the firm’s website at www.foria.com.
The recalled men’s pullover Sherpa shirts have a four-snap placket and long sleeves with rib-knit cuffs. The shirts are made from 80 percent cotton and 20 percent polyester blend brushed Sherpa fleece in olive and burgundy. A “Norm Thompson” woven label is located at the center back neckline of the garments.
