Blair Robe Lawsuit Information for Your Family
Six people have died after the Blair robe they were wearing caught on fire. The Blair chenille robes were part of an April 2009 Blair robe recall due to the risk that the robes would catch on fire and burn the wearer.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Blair LLC of Warren, Pennsylvania announced the recall for the robes after Blair learned of three robes catching on fire, including one report of second-degree burns. Blair was subsequently made aware of the fatalities after the recall was announced and after Blair had sent letters of the recall to consumers who purchased the robes.
Blair Robe Lawsuit: Strict Liability
According to the recall announcement, some of the recalled robes failed to meet federal flammability requirements and present a risk of serious burns to consumers if they are exposed to an open flame.
The legal translation of this is that the products were dangerous and defective and Blair is strictly liable for any injuries and deaths caused by their robes.
Blair Robe Lawsuit:
Compensation for Wrongful Death and Injury
The primary issue in a Blair robe lawsuit is “damages” (how much money Blair will have to pay to injury victims and the families of those killed. In a Blair robe lawsuit involving death (a wrongful death case), damages may include the following:
- Medical expenses
- Funeral expenses
- Lost income
- Loss of care and companionship
- Pain and suffering (in some states)
- Emotional distress (in some states)
In a Blair robe lawsuit involving injury, damages may include the following:
- Medical expenses
- Lost income
- Cost of care
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Disability
- Disfigurement (always a huge part of the compensation amount in burn cases)
