Plain-English summary

Givenchy is recalling about 60 men's 100% silk T-shirts because they fail to meet the federal flammability standard for wearing apparel. The recalled items are short-sleeve, sheer T-shirts in three styles: blue and black plaid, black and white stripes, and black with an image of Jesus on the cross. The shirts were sold in sizes XXS through L and feature style numbers 16J7127135, 16J6218886, or 16J7205877 printed on a tag sewn into the side seam.

The T-shirts were sold at Barneys New York, Givenchy Boutiques, Maxfield and Forward, Neiman Marcus, and Nordstrom stores nationwide from February 2016 through March 2016. Prices ranged between $685 and $1,350. The products were manufactured in Portugal and Tunisia.

The recall was issued because the T-shirts pose a risk of burn injury to consumers. No injuries have been reported. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled T-shirts and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Givenchy is directly contacting consumers who purchased the recalled items.
