Helly Hansen Recalls Adult Workwear Sweatshirts, Hoodies

(RTTNews) - Sumner, Washington-based Helly Hansen (U.S.) Inc. is recalling adult workwear sweatshirts and hoodies citing violation of federal flammability standard and burn hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.

The recall includes about 13,900 units sold in the United States. In addition, 128,680 units were sold in Canada.

The recall involves 12 styles of Helly Hansen adult workwear sweatshirts and hoodies. The garments are 100 percent cotton or 95 percent cotton and 5 percent elastane and were sold in all sizes in gray, navy and black.

The garments were manufactured in Sri Lanka and Turkey, and sold at Helly Hansen clothing stores and uniform clothing suppliers nationwide and online at www.hhworkwear.com from August 2019 through August 2022 for between $40 to $115.

According to the agency, the recalled clothing fails to meet flammability standards for clothing textiles, posing a risk of burn injuries to consumers.

However, the company has not received any reports of incidents or injuries related to the recalled products to date.

Consumers are urged to immediately stop using the recalled garments and contact Helly Hansen for a full refund or replacement.
