Dearborn, MI – Protective clothing company Carhartt has issued a voluntary recall of nine styles of flame-resistant sweatshirts manufactured from 2014 to 2016.

“Test results indicate inconsistencies in the performance ratings of these industrial garments, and some of the garments may not currently meet the requirements of NFPA 2112 and NFPA 70E,” the company states in an Aug. 17 press release.

Carhartt is directing customers to call (888) 894-7601 to return the garments and receive a refund.

“Carhartt takes seriously the safety of our hardworking customers,” President and Chief Operating Officer Linda Hubbard said in the release. “We’re committed to continuous improvement in our products and processes and will continue to work to meet and exceed industry standards.”
