Ivanka Trump-brand scarves are being recalled because they are too flammable and pose a “burn risk” to consumers.
The US 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 US and threatened to impose fines on Chinese imports. He has acknowledged, however, that some of his own products were made outside the US.
A representative for the Ivanka Trump brand, which includes clothing, accessories and fragrances, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
