Another Scarf Recalled Over Threat of Flammability

Sheen and light, these stylish women’s 100% silk scarves pose an unfortunate burn risk and have therefore been the latest subject of an apparel product recall. 

This being the second case of enforcement of the law governing the non-flammability of wearing apparel in just a few months, it suggests that government oversight of products violating the federal flammability standard is on the rise.

Measuring 72 inches long by 20 inches wide, the scarves were made in China and sold by specialty boutiques worldwide and online at www.zazou.com from August 2012 to August 2014.  Consumers should stop wearing them and contact Zazou Scarves to return them for a full refund.

More information on this recall can be found here.

Is Your Scarf Flammable? Women’s Scarves Recalled Due to Flammability Hazard

DO YOU HAVE ONE OF THESE SCARVES? 

If so, be advised that there’s been at least 1 report of these scarves catching fire and they have now been recalled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission as they failed to meet the federal flammability standard for wearing apparel and pose a risk of burn injury to consumers.

Both the Julie Vos “Sierra” and “Anchor” style scarves have been recalled.

The scarves, which are under the brand, Julie Vos, are 100 percent modal fabric, which is a type of rayon, and were sold in two prints, Anchor and Sierra. Anchor (on the left) was sold in three colors, including blue, green and orange. 

Sierra (on the right) was sold in four colors, including raspberry/magenta, orange/peach, cream/gray and blue/purple. The scarves measure 75 inches long by 45 inches wide and "Julie Vos" is printed on a tag sewn into the back of the scarf.

Manufactured in India, these imported scarves have been sold at specialty boutiques across the country and online at www.julievos.com from January 2014 through February 2014 for about $165.  

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled scarves and contact Julie Vos to arrange to return the scarves for a full refund. Julie Vos will provide a pre-paid postage label for shipping.
