CPSC, GUESS? Inc. Announce Recall of Liquid-Filled Bubble Patch Girls' T-Shirts

WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Produc t Safety Commission (CPSC), GUESS? Inc., of Los Angeles, Calif., is recalling about 78,000 liquid-filled bubble patch t-shirts.

The heart-shaped bubble measures about 4 inches by 3 inches, has the "GUESS girl!" logo in blue frost, blue bell or red, and contains liquid and glitter. The round- shaped bubble patch, about 4 inches in diameter, has a red heart inside the circle, and is surrounded by blue liquid with the GUESS logo. Two rectangular patches containing dual color liquid of either yellow and blue or purple and blue, with the GUESS logo in black lettering. All the logos are applied to the front of various colored t-shirts. The collar label reads, "GUESS? girls" or "GUESS USA." They were sold in girls sizes small through extra large.

GUESS? Inc. and other clothing stores nationwide sold the t-shirts from June 1997 through March 1999 for $10 to $26, depending on the style.

Consumers should immediately stop wearing these t-shirts, and return th em to the store where purchased for a refund.
