Donald J. Trump often opines on the economic risks of manufacturing American products overseas. Now he can add his daughter’s line of Chinese-made scarves to his list of concerns.

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

“This is a dangerous product,” said Scott Wolfson, a spokesman for the C.P.S.C.

Mr. 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. The safety commission said the majority of its recalls are associated with products that come from China.
