WASHINGTON—The Consumer Product Safety Commission issued an urgent recall today for the newly launched ChatGPT virtual try-on feature. The agency warns of severe, irreversible digital wardrobe malfunctions. Millions of active units present an immediate risk of rendering users completely unrecognizable to their own smart mirrors.
Hazard: Digital Fabric Fusing
The safety commission initiated the recall after receiving 4,000 complaints of digital fabric fusing. The software attempts to drape digital garments onto user-uploaded photographs. However, the system often merges the user's actual skin with simulated polyester blends.

"We observed multiple cases of denim textures embedding directly into human collarbones," said Dr. Helene Vasquez-Thorne, Lead Researcher at the Center for Studies That Confirm What You Already Suspected. "The ChatGPT virtual try-on is simply too powerful for standard cotton-blend rendering algorithms."
Affected Units and Immediate Remedy
The recall affects all versions of the ChatGPT virtual try-on tool deployed since Tuesday. The government advises all users to stop uploading selfies immediately. Affected individuals must delete their saved digital wardrobes to prevent further pixelation of their extremities.
"My left arm became a blurry argyle sweater pattern," said local user Marcus Vance. "I tried to close the app, but the pattern spread to my neck." OpenAI has promised a patch to address the clothing-to-flesh ratio. At press time, regulators advised affected users to submerge their smartphones in cold water to cool down the simulated threads.
