USCPSC, Target Corp. Announce Recall of Men's Sweatshirts
Recalling Firm: Trends Clothing Corp., of Miami, Fla.
Reason for Recall / Hazard

The sweatshirts come in sizes small through XXL, and have two sewn-in labels: one reads "PHYS.SCI" and the other reads "65% COTTON," "35% POLYESTER," "RN 17730," MADE IN CHINA" and "SEE REVERSE FOR CARE."
