Recall Details
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- CPSC and Fashionique II Inc., of Willow Springs, Ill., are announcing the recall of 40,000 flammable sheer silk chiffon scarves. The scarves fail to comply with the requirements of the Flammable Fabrics Act and present a serious risk of burn injuries. In fact, these scarves burn faster than newspaper.
The long, flowing, sheer silk scarves were available in 11 styles. Various retailers including Dress Barn, Caldor's, Fashion Gal, and Warehouse of Fashion, sold the scarves nationwide from January 1995 through November 1995 for between $6 and $10. The scarves, which were made in China, are labeled in part,"Pure Silk by 37 West, RN 62415."
Consumers should immediately stop wearing these scarves and return the scarves to the retailers where they were purchased. Retailers taking part in this recall will help consumers identify whether their scarves are affected by this recall. If consumers own a recalled scarf, retailers will provide a refund or replacement.

The sneaker display’s magnets can forcefully attract, break, splinter and emit sparks, posing a laceration hazard. In addition, when two or more high-powered magnets are swallowed, either accidentally or intentionally, the ingested magnets can attract each other and become lodged in the digestive system. This can lead to perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines that can lead to infection and death.
The clasp on the braided black bracelet sold as part of the gift set contains high levels of lead and cadmium. Lead and cadmium are toxic and can cause adverse health effects in children.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products has contributed to a decline in the rate of injuries associated with consumer products over the past 50 years.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
