Blair Robe Recall Information
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Blair LLC, of Warren, Pa., have reannounced the voluntary recall by Blair of 162,000 women's full length Chenille Robes. Some robes fail to meet federal flammability requirements and present a risk of serious burns to consumers if they are exposed to an open flame.
Since the recall was originally announced in April 2009, Blair has received reports of six deaths due to the robes catching on fire. Five of the six victims were female, and all five were cooking at the time of the incidents. Three of the victims were in their 80s.
CPSC and Blair 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.
The Blair robe recall announcement describes the recalled robes as follows:
The Women's Chenille Robes have the following item numbers: 3093111, 3093112, 3093113, 3093114, 3093115, and 3093116. The item number is identified on a label in the garment's neckline. The robe is a one-piece garment made of plush sculpted chenille, a shaped stand collar, and horizontal chenille front and back yolks and cuffs. The robe has a full-button front with seven matching button closures, long sleeves with self cuffs, a straight bottom with self hem, and two sideseam pockets.
The robe's sewn in label states: "100% Cotton, RN 81700, Made in Pakistan".
The robes were sold in Blair catalogs and Web site, and Blair stores in Warren, Pennsylvania, Grove City, Pennsylvania, and Wilmington, Delaware, from January 2003 through March 2009 from about $20 to $40.
