Clothing designer GUESS? is recalling more than 78,000 girls’ T-shirts with liquid-filled bubble patches on the front. The liquid contains a petroleum distillate that can be harmful if ingested, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said. No injuries have been reported. The T-shirts were sold nationwide from June 1997 through March 1999. Customers should stop wearing the T-shirts immediately and return them to the stores where they were purchased for refunds, the commission said.
