Madewell Sweater Recall: Check These Tags Before Wearing Yours

Madewell is recalling about 5,900 women's sweaters after federal safety officials said two styles violate the mandatory flammability standard for clothing textiles, creating a risk of serious burn injuries or death.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission posted the recall on July 16, 2026. It covers Madewell Double V-Neck Pullover and Madewell V-Neck Cardigan sweaters sold in light blue and cream, in sizes XS through L, at Madewell and T.J. Maxx stores nationwide and online at Madewell.com from December 2024 through October 2025.

Do this first

• Stop wearing the sweater while you check it.
• Look for the side-seam tag beneath the care label.
• Check for style number NT611 or NT612 and the season identifier HO24.
• Compare the item with the recalled Madewell Double V-Neck Pullover or Madewell V-Neck Cardigan styles.
• Do not donate, resell, or pass along an affected sweater.

The CPSC said Madewell has received one report of a sweater catching fire. No injuries had been reported as of the recall notice.

How the refund works

Madewell says customers with an affected item should cut the sweater in half, take a photo of the destroyed product and a photo of the product tag, and email the images to 24-7@madewell.com. The company asks customers to include contact information, affected items, an order number if available, and whether they want a refund or store credit.

The CPSC notice says consumers can contact Madewell at 866-544-1937 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Sunday. Madewell says validated customers will receive either store credit or a refund of the original purchase price.

What to check if you bought it elsewhere

If the sweater was a gift or a secondhand purchase, the tag is still the most useful identifier. The recall is tied to the specific style numbers and HO24 season marking, not only to where the item was bought.

The practical move is simple: check the tag before the next wear, follow Madewell's destruction and photo process if it matches, and keep the recalled sweater out of circulation.
