Click HERE for a list of clothing brands that have been recalled. Click HERE for the specific clothing recalls where you can search for specific key words.

  • SMOKEY CLOTHING~ even the slightest odor of smoke, pets or moth balls will cause your items to be rejected. Please don’t put our inspectors in an uncomfortable position by having to reject all of your items. ATTENTION SMOKERS: You are not likely to smell the smoke in your items. We recommend having a non-smoker smell your items before you bring them in so that you are not embarrassed by having your items rejected.
