About 3,500 sweaters from Idaho-based Coldwater Creek have been recalled because they can catch fire too easily, says the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The recall is for Coldwater Creek shawl collar sweaters in red only. The textured yarn sweaters wer e sold in sizes XS through 3X. A tag sewn into the neck of the sweater displays the Coldwater Creek brand logo.

Made in Hong Kong, the sweaters were sold in the Coldwater Creek catalog and at coldwatercreek.com from November 2006 through May 2007 for $62.

They are being recalled because they fail to meet U.S. flammability requirements.

Should the sweater come in contact with an ignition source, such as a stove burner, candle flame or cigarette lighter, it could catch fire and cause serious burns to consumers.
No injuries have been reported.

Consumers should stop wearing the sweater and return it to Coldwater Creek for a refund, including tax and postage. The company will provide consumers with a $20 coupon towards another purchase.
