Six Reported Deaths Prompt Urgent Re-announcement of Blair Recall of Women’s Chenille Robes

Recall Insight

This CPSC action (record #09241) was formally reported on June 11, 2009. It is classified under Moderate severity, with a current status of Active. Blair LLC, of Warren, Pa. is listed as the recalling firm. Federal records list the affected scope as 162000, a scale large enough to require multi-state distribution tracking.

The documented reason for this recall is: The robes fail to meet federal flammability requirements and present a risk of serious burns to consumers if they are exposed to an open flame. Distribution information was not included in the agency filing, so consumers should assume broad potential exposure until the firm publishes point-of-sale details. The remedy documented by the agency is: CPSC and Blair once again urge consumers to stop wearing the garments immediately and contact Blair LLC for information on returning the robe and to receive a refund or a $50 gift card for Blair merc… - consumers holding this product should act on that instruction rather than relying on general guidance.

Within the same product category the archive holds 6 closely related recalls, 6 from CPSC - clustering in a narrow category often points to a systemic quality-control or supplier issue rather than a one-off defect. Always verify the recall number against the official agency record before acting.
