A Manhattan woman claims a free t-shirt from a New York Knicks game was too flammable, contributing to injuries she received from a kitchen fire.

Madison Square Garden is in some hot water over a t-shirt they gave away during a home game in January. A Manhattan woman claims the t-shirt she obtained from a January 12 New York Knicks game contributed to her receiving gruesome burns following a cooking accident in her Wall Street apartment.

According to court papers obtained by the New York Post, the woman claims that after her gas range “let out a larger than normal flame,” it caused “her t-shirt to catch fire immediately, and the flames spread with such speed that she could not put the flames out.
