Every line below is in CPSC’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
The sweatshirts, which fail to meet federal mandatory standards for fabric flammability, could ignite easily and present a serious risk of burn injuries, in violation of the Federal Flammable Fabrics Act. Fabrics that do not comply with the standard typically burn faster than newspaper.

Which ones are recalled?
The FUBU brand sweatshirts are made of a fleece fabric that closely resembles that of an inside-outside sweatshirt. They are long-sleeved, pullover style with hoods. They are red, black or silver and are available in ladies sizes extra-small, small, medium and large. The name “FUBU” appears in large lettering across the chest, and a label sewn into the neck reads in part, “FUBU SPORTS, 90 percent cotton, 10 percent polyester, Made in Peru.” The recalled sweatshirts are style FB-3855, which is written on sewn-in label underneath the care label.
About 5,400 units, as CPSC gives them.
