Alexanders Inc. Recalls Sweatshirts
(Washington, D.C.) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
and Alexanders Inc.,New York, N.Y., today announced a voluntary
recall of sweatshirts sold by the firm. Alexanders operates 15
retail department stores in the greater New York metropolitan
area and has agreed to provide a full refund to consumers who re-
turn the sweatshirts to its stores.
Although this sweatshirt has not been involved in any incidents
known to the Commission or to Alexanders, testing shows that it
fails to meet the flammability requirement for general wearing
apparel before and after washing.
The recalled sweatshirts were made in China of 100% Cotton
with a neck label tag "Michael Richards". The sweatshirts were sold
for $8.50 in Alexanders own stores from February 3, 1984 through
June 11, 1984.
For further information, consumers may call Mr. Robert Ceber
of Alexanders, Inc. at 212-560-2121.
