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.

The Organization of Women in International Trade (OWIT) – A Truly Dynamic Group of Professional Women
OWIT is a worldwide non-profit organization that focuses on helping
women develop and execute global trade opportunities.
I had the pleasure of attending the OWIT Spring Board Meeting held in Washington DC this year. In attendance were members from not only all over the U.S. but also from other countries who came as representatives from their respective chapters, as I had done for the NY Chapter where I serve as the Vice President.
Notably, we have a new U.S. chapter – OWIT Utah – which is a
group of experienced and energetic leaders in the Utah business community. OWIT Cairo has also returned as an active
chapter which I personally thought was fantastic news given all of the changes
that the country and its people have undergone over the last couple of years.
Other exciting developments include solid prospects for new
chapters in London and India, growing membership within our newly formed “Virtual Members” group, and an OWIT partnership with WEConnect, which is an international
organization that certifies women-owned businesses.
For more information about OWIT, check out www.owit.org and for more about the NY Chapter,
you can find us at www.owitny.org.
Join us on our LinkedIn Page and I hope to see you at a
future event or in attendance at one of our educational webinars!
