Madewell Sweater Recall Over Fire Hazard

In mid-July 2026, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of approximately 5,900 women’s sweaters sold by Madewell and T.J. Maxx. The recall covers two styles—Madewell Double V-Neck Pullover (Style #NT611) and V-Neck Cardigan (Style #NT612)—available in light-blue and cream, sizes XS through L. The garments were sold nationwide in stores and at Madewell.com from December 2024 through October 2025 for $138-$148. The CPSC determined the sweaters violate the mandatory federal flammability standard for clothing textiles, creating a burn hazard that could cause serious injury or death. One consumer report documented a sweater catching fire; no injuries have been reported.

The CPSC’s notice cites the mandatory standard for clothing textiles, which requires garments to meet specific flame-resistance criteria. Madewell, a brand of J. Crew Group, LLC (New York, NY), is listed as the responsible firm in the recall filing. The agency’s role is to protect the public from products that present unreasonable risks, and it classified the sweater defect as a “burn hazard.”
