Chanel Recalls Silk Scarves and Garments Due to Violation of Federal Flammability Standard

Chanel is recalling about 120 scarves and 34 garments because these garments fail to meet the federal flammability standard for wearing apparel, posing a fire hazard to consumers. No injuries have been reported as yet, but the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission today announced a voluntary recall of Chanel silk scarves, dresses, skirts and blouses by Chanel Inc. of New York.

The Chanel silk scarves, dresses, skirts and blouses are made of 100 percent silk and come in a variety of designs. These were actually sold at Chanel Boutiques, Neiman Marcus and Maxfield stores for $430 to $3,650 in March and April 2010. Hence, consumers should immediately stop using the garments and contact the firm to receive a full refund instead.
