A well-known apparel retailer is recalling about 6,000 women’s sweaters after federal safety officials determined the garments do not comply with U.S. flammability requirements, creating a potential risk of severe burns or even death, according to a new notice from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The recall covers Madewell’s Double V-Neck Pullover and V-Neck Cardigan sweaters, which were sold in light blue and cream color options.
In its recall alert, the CPSC stated that the sweaters fail to meet the mandatory safety standard for clothing textiles, meaning they could ignite more easily than allowed and pose a serious burn hazard.
The recalled Madewell sweaters were available for purchase at Madewell and T.J. Maxx retail locations, along with the companies’ websites, from December 2024 through October 2025.

Consumers who may have bought one of the affected items are being urged to inspect the labels sewn inside the garment.
Sweaters included in the recall have a “Madewell” label at the neck and a side seam tag showing style numbers NT611, NT612, or the code “HO24.”
No injuries have been reported so far, but the company has received one report of a sweater igniting.
Federal safety officials say anyone who owns one of the recalled sweaters should stop wearing it immediately to reduce the risk of a fire-related injury.
Madewell is providing full refunds to all affected customers.
To claim a refund, you must cut the sweater in half, take a photo of the destroyed garment, and email it to 24-7@madewell.com before disposal.
