Around 20,800 men’s fleece Sherpa Shirts were recalled due to their fail to meet the federal flammability standard and potentially cause a burn injury to the wearer. So far, two cases of shirts catching on fire have been reported, without any injuries. They were imported by Foria International Inc, of City of Industry in California.
The men’s pullover Sherpa shirts have long sleeves, a four-snap placket and rib-knit cuffs. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, they are composed of 80% cotton and 20% polyester blend Sherpa fleece in shades of olive and burgandy. The woven label “Norm Thompson” is on the center back neckline.
The fleece shirts, manufactured in India, were sold in Norm Thompson catalogs along with online at Norm Thomson Stores in Lake Oswego, Lincoln City, Troutdale, and Portland Airport in Oregon, as well as in West Virginia to Kearneysville, and North Conway, New Hampshire. They were sold from September 2003 to November 2009 for around $45.
