The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in cooperation with James Perse has announced a voluntary recall of about 6,700 men's and women's jackets.
The garments, imported from China by New Live of Los Angeles, Calif., fail to meet the federal flammability standard for wearing apparel -- posing a fire hazard to consumers. No incidents or injuries have been reported.
The men's jacket is corduroy and is fully lined with Sherpa fleece. It has a five-button front closure, two side pockets and two breast pockets. The style number is MV2156.
Two styles of women's jackets are subject to this recall. One is a zip-front jacket with two pockets, a hood lined with Sherpa fleece and a drawstring at the waist. The style number is WOY2443.
The other is a belted, wrap jacket with a Sherpa fleece-lined collar. It has two side pockets and wide knit cuffs at the wrist. The style number is WOY2444.
Each jacket is made of 100 percent cotton and was manufactured in various colors. A label with the style number is located on the side seam of the inside of the jackets.
The jackets were sold at Bloomingdales, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Barneys of New York, and James Perse Boutiques from July 2010 to December 2010 for $225 to $350.
Consumers should immediately stop wearing the recalled jackets and return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund.
