Flammable Blair Robes Recalled
Flammable women's robes sold by Blair Corporation of Warren are linked to nine deaths, and the company is expanding a recall to include more products imported from the Pakistani manufacturer.
Blair first recalled the robes in April after learning that three had caught on fire and one person suffered second degree burns. Later, the Consumer Product Safety Commission received reports of five deaths related to the robes. Since June, the agency has received reports of four more deaths.
The full-length women's chenille robes sold in Blair catalogs and at their stores in Warren and Grove City present a risk if exposed to open flame, the agency said.
The expanded recall includes more chenille robes and three other chenille products, all made by A-One Textile & Towel of Karachi, Pakistan.
