A high-end clothing line backed by Khloe Kardashian yanked a New York-themed t-shirt from its website Monday, hours after Gov. Cuomo's administration warned the item may be violating copyright law.

The state had sent a "cease and desist" letter to Kardashian's Rich Soil website, warning that it would sue if Rich Soil did not immediately stop selling the shirt and provide an estimate of how much money it has made off the design.
Rich Soil is helmed by Kardashian and her husband, NBA player Lamar Odom.
