What happened

Zip Zag of Hoboken, New Jersey is recalling approximately 18,300 women's cotton sweat shirts due to a fire hazard. The sweat shirts, which are 100 percent cotton reverse fleece garments available in grey, black, red, navy, cobalt, and wine, violate the federal Flammable Fabrics Act and burn faster than newspaper, posing a serious risk of burn injuries. The sweat shirts feature a crown and "#1 Strategy" design on the front, with sewn-in neck labels reading "RED CABIN ... RN 65313 ... Made in Pakistan" and hang tags showing "STYLE # 133033 ... RED CABIN." These garments were sold at Dots retail stores in the East and Midwest from July 1995 to February 1996 for $10.

According to the recall notice, consumers should stop wearing these sweat shirts immediately. Affected consumers can return the sweat shirts to any Dots store for a refund, or mail the garment directly to Zip Zag Customer Service Center, Attention: Peter Luthria, 1422 Grand St., 3rd Floor, Hoboken, N.J. 07030, where Zip Zag will provide a full refund including postage costs.
