SQL search query using LIKE and WHERE

I need your help.

This is my Products Table:

 id       name       type
 1        item 1     A
 2        item 2     A
 3        item 3     B
 4        item 4     B

etc...

I want to search all possible records which start with item in Type A

I have this query:

 SELECT * FROM products 
 WHERE type = 'A'
 OR name LIKE '%item%';   

But I'm getting possible records from other types. How can I filter to only display Type A? Any ideas?
