Why this matters in The Waco
For Waco residents who shop at local T.J. Maxx stores or online at Madewell.com, this recall is particularly relevant. The sweaters in question were sold nationwide, including in our area, from December 2024 through October 2025. With prices ranging from $138 to $148, these sweaters may have been purchased as gifts or treats during the holiday season or as part of a fall wardrobe update. The fact that there has been one reported incident of a sweater catching on fire underscores the urgency of taking action. Consumers who own one of the recalled sweaters should take immediate steps to stop using the product and contact Madewell for a refund. By destroying the sweater and providing proof, consumers can ensure their safety and the safety of others, and also help prevent any potential fires in their homes.
