This is a real get-up-and-check-the-tag recall, but the tag details matter. It is not a children’s drawstring recall and it does not cover every Madewell sweater.
Which Madewell sweaters are recalled?
The recall covers two women’s styles:
- Double V-Neck Pullover — style NT611
- V-Neck Cardigan — style NT612
Both have HO24 printed on the sewn-in side-seam label. They were sold in light blue and cream, with or without buttons, in women’s sizes XS through L.
The sweaters were sold at Madewell and T.J. Maxx stores nationwide and at Madewell.com from December 2024 through October 2025 for about $138 to $148.
Why were the sweaters recalled?
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says the sweaters violate the mandatory flammability standard for clothing textiles. That creates a serious burn hazard. Madewell received one report of a sweater catching fire; no injuries were reported in the CPSC notice.
What to do if your tag matches
- Stop wearing the sweater immediately.
- Contact Madewell for a full refund to the original form of payment or store credit.
- Follow Madewell’s instructions. The recall asks consumers to cut the sweater in half, email a photo of the destroyed sweater to 24**@******ll.com, and then dispose of it.
You can call Madewell at 866-544-1937 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern, Monday through Sunday.
