Twenty thousand Ivanka Trump-branded scarves were recalled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on April 6 because they do not meet the flammability standard. 

The scarves are manufactured in China, and are made out of rayon, making it a potential burn risk.

“This is a dangerous product,” said Scott Wolfson, a spokesman for the CPSC, reports the New York Times

So far, there are no reported injuries as a result of the scarves.

Donald Trump’s campaign has made trade with China a central theme, saying repeatedly that the United States is “losing to China” and proposing trade reform with China. Some of Trump’s own clothing line is also made in China.

The CPSC recommends that consumers return their scarves to stores to get a full refund. The scarves are sold at Century 21, Marshalls, and other retail stores, and are licensed by GBG Accessories Group.

The two flammable scarf styles are “Beach Wave” and “Brushstroke Oblong.” Both styles have black labels with “Ivanka Trump” embroidered in silver lettering.
