NEW YORK — Mr Donald Trump often opines on the economic risks of manufacturing US products overseas. Now he can add his daughter's line of Chinese-made flammable scarves to his list of concerns.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced on Wednesday (April 6) that 20,000 Ivanka Trump-branded scarves are being recalled for violating the Federal Flammability Standard. The scarves, manufactured in China and made entirely of rayon, are considered a safety risk.

"This is a dangerous product," said Mr Scott Wolfson, a spokesman for the commission.

The regulator said that it noticed the scarves online and that its experts acquired samples and tested them for flammability. There have been no reports of injuries from a scarf igniting.

The United States has strict regulations on the materials used in clothing and textiles to reduce the risk of serious burns if a person catches on fire.

Consumers are advised to return the scarves, which besides being sold online are sold at stores such as Century 21, Lord & Taylor and Marshalls, to receive full refunds. Mr Wolfson said that the scarves, which bear Ivanka Trump's name, were licensed through an importer called GBG Accessories Group.

Mr Donald Trump also sells an extensive collection of clothing that is made in China even though he frequently rails against outsourcing and threatens to tax companies that move production to other countries.
