The company that makes the robes, Blair LLC of Warren, PA reported that they had been told about three separate cases in which their bathrobes caught fire. In one of the incidents, the woman suffered serious second-degree burns. In total, the company has received word of six deaths that have resulted since the recall was sent out by the CPSC in April. All six were caused by their robes catching fire while being worn by the victims. Most of the victims were older women and were physically unable to remove the robes quickly enough to save themselves from the flames. As soon as the recall occurred in April, Blair actually sent letters to their customers to inform them of the recall, but for those six victims, the warnings could not save them.

Not all of Blair’s robes were recalled by the CPSC because not all have been determined to be flammable. The flammable robes were produced in Pakistan, followed by their sale in certain Blair stores in both Pennsylvania and Delaware over the past six years. If you do not live in either of these states, you may not necessarily be safe from the risks of a flammable robe, however. These defective garments were also sold in Blair catalogs.

Blair and the CPSC are strongly encouraging those who own these defective robes to cease from wearing them in case of injury. In fact, Blair wants so much for their customers to stop wearing these potentially dangerous garments that they are offering either a full refund for the robes or a $50 gift card to their stores. If you own one of these robes, you are strongly encouraged to stop wearing it immediately and call Blair LLC of Warren, PA as soon as possible to discuss your options for a refund or a gift card.
