The Drycleaning & Laundry Institute issued a warning today to all dry cleaners and consumers for a defective dress from Tahari.

| Black trim is bleeding onto the rest of the dress |
This Tahari brand dress is tan & white with black trim made of cotton, polyester, and spandex. The care label states “dry clean only”, but during the normal dry cleaning process in GreenEarth brand solvent (ZIPS does not use this solvent), the black trim bleeds out a rust color component onto the rest of the dress.
Since 1972 the Federal government has required all manufacturers to provide at least one safe cleaning method. Since the dress was unable to withstand the manufacturers recommended cleaning method the garment is defective and should be returned to the store or manufacturer.
