Ivanka Trump-brand scarves recalled because of ‘burn risk’

Associated Press

Ivanka Trump-brand scarves are being recalled because they are too flammable and pose a “burn risk” to consumers.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Wednesday that no injuries have been reported.

The recall involves about 20,000 rayon scarves, sold from October 2014 through January 2016 in department stores and online. They cost from $12 to $68 and were made in China.

Ivanka Trump’s father, Donald Trump, as part of his campaign for president has criticized companies that move manufacturing outside the U.S. and threatened to impose fines on Chinese imports. He has acknowledged, however, that some of his own products were made outside the U.S.

A representative for the Ivanka Trump brand, which includes clothing, accessories and fragrances, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The CPSC said consumers should stop wearing the scarves and return them for a full refund.
