Officials recall robes after fires, deaths
You may want to reconsider cooking a meal on the stove while wearing your robe after reading this story.
Pennsylvania retail company Blair LLC is recalling 138,000 chenille robes after reports of three robes catching on fire. One report stated the person wearing the robe received second degree burns.
The company first recalled the robes in April 2009 after it had received reports of nine deaths allegedly due to the burn hazard for the chenille robes, according to a release from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Most victims were said to have been cooking in the robes, the release said.
The recall has been expanded to include all women’s chenille apparel manufactured by A-One Textile & Towel, which is based in Pakistan. The names of the products are: Full Length Women’s Chenille Robes, Women’s Chenille Jacket, Women’s Chenille Lounge Jacket and Women’s Chenille Top.
